Has a command with an equivalent function replaced it?

The mud always knows whether or not any particular mud is connected
to the I3, so there is no need to ping it.  Just look at the mudlist,
and see if it's up.

To explain it a bit more. The old I2 system used UDP, a protocol which
just sends a packet and then considers matters closed. So, you had to
provoke a mud into sending you one to see if it was still around.
The I3 protocol uses TCP, which is a point-to-point connection, so
you can always tell without extra efford if the mud is there.
All muds on the mudlist have an open tcp connection to the I3 router
as we speak. The router sends us a message when it loses a mud.

   Does anyone know of any other serious/significant differences?
Are there some bug fixes, patches, etc, etc?

   Also, is the version of MudOS with 1.3 a more stable version?

   And finally, is there any reason to use 1.2 instead of 1.3?

   Btw, does anyone know how large TMI 1.3 + MudOS gunzips/untars
into (approximately). My shell account has a 10 meg limit, so I
have to request a temporary increase. I know I'll be deleting a
lot of stuff once I get in all gunzipped/untarred, but I need to

  Thanks for any estimates you might have.

10 meg is kinda close. cleanup the driver sources, and strip
the driver after compilation will help. But i don't advice it

here's what we do on my mud dealing with corpses. first, we reduce 
the mass and bulk of a corpse, so players could carry two or three,
then there is a place where they can bring corpses and have them turned
into meat, leather, etc.

it would also be cool for some guilds to have powers like 'drain corpse'
and such.
