#28800 Doctor's Zone Description Room~ Galaxy by Doctor of EnvyMUD. To use this zone, make sure that SOMEWHERE in the zone, near the begining, the authors name is visible to the players, a sign or edesc in a room will be fine. Include the area and the author (perhaps the EnvyMUD name also) in your help file for areas. And even a small mention in your credits file would be nice. I myself need no mention, as the work I did was very minimal, and quite truthfully, selfish in nature *8). Many thanks to the EnvyMUD people for allowing this to be shared.
