One might consider looking at ACE, <A HREF="http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/ACE.html">http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/ACE.html</A>, which was brought up briefly on the list some months ago.

Lots of other interesting pieces of work in ACE and lots of papers written by Douglas Schmidt about it. - Bruce </PRE> <!--X-Body-of-Message-End--> <!--X-MsgBody-End--> <!--X-Follow-Ups--> <HR> <ul compact><li><strong>Follow-Ups</strong>: <ul> <li><strong><A NAME="00538" HREF="msg00538.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: DevMUD module configuration</A></strong> <ul compact><li><em>From:</em> J C Lawrence <claw#kanga,nu></li></ul> </UL></LI></UL> <!--X-Follow-Ups-End--> <!--X-References--> <!--X-References-End--> <!--X-BotPNI--> <UL> <LI>Prev by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00533.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: Recursive look</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00535.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: PDMud thread summary</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Prev by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00557.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: Why did it take years?</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00538.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: DevMUD module configuration</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Index(es): <UL> <LI><A HREF="index.html#00534"><STRONG>Date</STRONG></A></LI> <LI><A HREF="thread.html#00534"><STRONG>Thread</STRONG></A></LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> <!--X-BotPNI-End--> <!--X-User-Footer--> <!--X-User-Footer-End--> <ul><li>Thread context: <BLOCKQUOTE><UL> <LI><STRONG>[MUD-Dev] Re: Why did it take years?</STRONG>, <EM>(continued)</EM> <ul compact> <ul compact> <LI><strong><A NAME="00572" HREF="msg00572.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: Why did it take years?</A></strong>, J C Lawrence <a href="mailto:claw#under,engr.sgi.com">claw#under,engr.sgi.com</a>, Wed 28 Oct 1998, 23:29 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00575" HREF="msg00575.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: Why did it take years?</A></strong>, Adam Wiggins <a href="mailto:adam#angel,com">adam#angel,com</a>, Thu 29 Oct 1998, 01:17 GMT </LI> </UL> </LI> </ul> <LI><strong><A NAME="00556" HREF="msg00556.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: Why did it take years?</A></strong>, Bruce Mitchener, Jr. <a href="mailto:bruce#puremagic,com">bruce#puremagic,com</a>, Wed 28 Oct 1998, 02:21 GMT </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="00557" HREF="msg00557.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: Why did it take years?</A></strong>, Chris Gray <a href="mailto:cg#ami-cg,GraySage.Edmonton.AB.CA">cg#ami-cg,GraySage.Edmonton.AB.CA</a>, Wed 28 Oct 1998, 04:01 GMT </LI> </ul> </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="00534" HREF="msg00534.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: DevMUD module configuration</A></strong>, Bruce Mitchener, Jr. <a href="mailto:bruce#puremagic,com">bruce#puremagic,com</a>, Tue 27 Oct 1998, 03:43 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00538" HREF="msg00538.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: DevMUD module configuration</A></strong>, J C Lawrence <a href="mailto:claw#kanga,nu">claw#kanga,nu</a>, Tue 27 Oct 1998, 05:31 GMT </LI> </UL> <UL> <li><Possible follow-up(s)><br> <LI><strong><A NAME="00542" HREF="msg00542.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: DevMUD module configuration</A></strong>, Chris Gray <a href="mailto:cg#ami-cg,GraySage.Edmonton.AB.CA">cg#ami-cg,GraySage.Edmonton.AB.CA</a>, Tue 27 Oct 1998, 06:47 GMT </LI> </UL> </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="00529" HREF="msg00529.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: Inheritance model (was Re: PDMud thread summary)</A></strong>, Bruce Mitchener, Jr. <a href="mailto:bruce#puremagic,com">bruce#puremagic,com</a>, Tue 27 Oct 1998, 01:56 GMT <UL> <li><Possible follow-up(s)><br> <LI><strong><A NAME="00532" HREF="msg00532.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: Inheritance model (was Re: PDMud thread summary)</A></strong>, Cynbe ru Taren <a href="mailto:cynbe#muq,org">cynbe#muq,org</a>, Tue 27 Oct 1998, 03:08 GMT </LI> </UL> </LI> </UL></BLOCKQUOTE> </ul> <hr> <center> [ <a href="../">Other Periods</a> | <a href="../../">Other mailing lists</a> | <a href="/search.php3">Search</a> ] </center> <hr> </body> </html>
