T. Alexander Popiel wrote in a Mail about "[MUD-Dev] Re: [IDEAS] Starting
from scratch ":

&gt;&gt;Reminds me of a thought I had for my MUD. The MUD, whenever we change
&gt;&gt;anything in the code (it's a Diku style MUD, most of the stuff is in code),
&gt;&gt;obviously has to go through a reboot. I was wandering about having the data
&gt;&gt;for connections written out with the database (with sanity checking on load,
&gt;&gt;of course, incase something goes wrong after the database is saved), then
&gt;&gt;have the server load the new binary over itself with one of the exec()
&gt;&gt;functions.

&gt;&gt;The player would get "The server is rebooting, please wait" or
&gt;&gt;similar...
 &gt; This is, unfortunately, non-portable...
I'm planning on keeping the MUD compilable on the Amiga by simply not
implementing it on the Amiga...
