I used this freedom a lot. Nod. An important one for me was NAWS (Negotiate About Window Size), which lets the server know how big the window of the client is. I also did BINARY, SUPGA and ENDOFRECORD because they are pretty trivial. Also the IAC stuff for escaped things. >I don't think a single monolithic server would be flexible enough for >what most of us are interested in.

So, you're thinking it could have either some hard-coded scenario stuff, or could have it soft-coded in an internal MUD language? I guess that's do-able. Haven't most systems that started out without an in-MUD language eventually added one, just to gain the flexibility? -- Chris Gray cg#ami-cg,GraySage.Edmonton.AB.CA </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="00269" HREF="msg00269.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: Bruce Sterling on Virtual Community goals</A></strong> <ul compact><li><em>From:</em> Jon Leonard <jleonard#divcom,slimy.com></li></ul> </UL></LI></UL> <!--X-Follow-Ups-End--> <!--X-References--> <!--X-References-End--> <!--X-BotPNI--> <UL> <LI>Prev by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00264.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: Bruce Sterling on Virtual Community goals</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00266.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: Bruce Sterling on Virtual Community goals</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Prev by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00264.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: Bruce Sterling on Virtual Community goals</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00269.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: Bruce Sterling on Virtual Community goals</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Index(es): <UL> <LI><A HREF="index.html#00265"><STRONG>Date</STRONG></A></LI> <LI><A HREF="thread.html#00265"><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: Bruce Sterling on Virtual Community goals</STRONG>, <EM>(continued)</EM> <ul compact> <ul compact> <ul compact> <ul compact> <ul compact> <ul compact> <LI><strong><A NAME="00288" HREF="msg00288.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: Bruce Sterling on Virtual Community goals</A></strong>, Marc Hernandez <a href="mailto:marc#jb,com">marc#jb,com</a>, Wed 21 Oct 1998, 04:50 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00324" HREF="msg00324.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: Bruce Sterling on Virtual Community goals</A></strong>, Jon A.
