Just from those three words, I envisage something *very* different to a functional codebase. The old 'basic' LP libs which were available were kinda along these lines, if I recall (at least one or two were) - a starting point to build from. However, an actual kit might take the form of 'these are the basic parts of a mud engine', and to my mind would probably be 80% documentation, 20% framework code (or thereabouts). For instance, it might include network.c which gave a (functional but basic) socket layer for you to use (or develop upon). And so forth, giving a number of modules which can be compiled into a server (although the distributed server would probably do very little, and might not even have a fully defined system for rooms/objects). I'm rambling, but the idea I'm trying to express might be a worthwhile one for implmenetation. -- Matt Chatterley ".. You live for the fight, when its all that you've got .."
