---- ColdX Credits ---- ColdX is a derivitive work of ColdMUD. The concise history of it, from ColdMUD, can be found in the CHANGES file. The name change is to make a distinction between the developmental time Greg Hudson spent (versions 0.0 through 0.10)--followed by various changes from a few contributors, including Greg Hudson (versions 0.11 and 0.12)--and those made under the management of the ColdX Project. The ColdX Project is a conglomeration of programmers dedicated to advancing the driver and any relative databases. Information on the ColdX Project can be found in the file "ColdX.Project" ---- ColdMUD Credits ---- This program borrows many ideas from LambdaMOO, written by Stephen White and Pavel Curtis, and COOLMUD, written by Stephen White. The database routines in this code originate from code by Marcus J. Ranum, although only the block allocation algorithm is currently similar to his code. The cache algorithm also uses his ideas. The regular expression matcher used by Coldmud (regexp.c) was written by Henry Spencer. Numerous people have contributed valuble ideas and debugging effort. Among them are Jay Carlson, Erik Ostrom, Matthew Rhoten, Loyd Blankenship, Gregory Blake, Jeff Prothero, Nils McCarthy, Brandon Gillespie, Ron Strait, Alex Stewart, Jordan Baker, Ryan Daum, Doug Orleans, Matthew Gray, and Scott Dickenshied. ---- copyright information ---- ColdMUD is copyright 1993, 1994 by Greg Hudson ColdX (a derivitive of ColdMUD) is copyright 1995 by the ColdX Project Permission to use, copy, modify and distribute this software and its documentation without fee is hereby granted, provided that this copyright notice appear in all versions and documentation.
