That's a very large order. It essentially means that GRUMPS has to be at least as powerful a system as any other system out there. That's going to be very difficult to do. Keep in mind that lots of MUDs use a lot of custom code, and allow players to create an almost unlimited range of things, by allowing unlimited user programming. That means you have to have a dynamic in-MUD language that can effectively emulate the languages of all other MUDs. I've been thinking a bit about what it would take to be able to import sources or "zones" from other MUDs into a generic system done with my MUD system. Parts could be automated, but any such conversion is going to require hand work as well. Consider LP - I would have to write an LP compiler using my in-MUD language, and compile the LP code into equivalent MUD-code for my system. Theoretically possible, but a vast amount of work, and for what advantage? -- Chris Gray cg#ami-cg,GraySage.Edmonton.AB.CA </PRE> <!--X-Body-of-Message-End--> <!--X-MsgBody-End--> <!--X-Follow-Ups--> <HR> <!--X-Follow-Ups-End--> <!--X-References--> <!--X-References-End--> <!--X-BotPNI--> <UL> <LI>Prev by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00020.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Re: MUD Development Digest</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00022.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Persistant storage....
