Read the Credits.LPmud file for credit information on the original LPmud
driver (that upon which MudOS is based). LPmud was originally written
by Lars Pensj|, April 1989.
The following information is not guaranteed to be complete. (I
apologize in advance if I have forgotten anyone). For more information
read the './doc/driver/done-mudos' and './src/ChangeLog' files.
We would like to thank the following muds for extensive testing and numerous
bug reports:
TMI, Portals, Overdrive, Genocide, TMI-2, Vincent's Hollow, DreamShadow,
Nightmare, Nanvaent, and many others.
The MudOS driver was a team effort with specific contributions from the
following people:
Erik Kay (Wayfarer) - runtime config system, message() efun, and others.
John Garnett (Truilkan) - improved mappings implementation, process_input
and write_prompt callbacks, C++ style comments, lazy resets,
master::valid_override callback, improved shared string management, and
others.
Dwayne Fontenot (Jacques) - major rewrite of comm.c, TCP socket efuns,
ported to AIX 3.2.
Dave Richards (Cynosure/Cygnus) - UDP socket efuns, enhanced TCP socket efuns,
ported MudOS to the Sequent Symmetry (System V Release 3),
and the time_expression() efun.
Stephen Iannce (Huthar) - children() and message() efuns, extensive testing of
the socket efunctions.
Joel York (Shadowhawk) - multiple arguments version of input_to(), dprint
option to ed.
Bob Farmer (Blackthorn) - fixed various efuns to honor the hidden object
flags, several new efuns, porting to DEC Alpha and others, bug fixes,
and others.
James Waldrop (Sulam) - helped with reorganizing the huge switch in
interpret.c into efunctions.c.
Michael Bundy - provided patches allowing MudOS to run on System V Release 4.
(built on Dave Richard's System V Release 3 port).
Luke Mewborn (Zak) - provided patches allowing MudOS to run on 386BSD
Olav Kolbu (Aragorn) - provided patches allowing MudOS to run on Linux 0.99.3,
many bug reports and misc fixes, countless compilation errors
Darin Johnson (Darin) - provided various patches and optimizations (including
combining prelang.y and postlang.y into compiler.y).
David Bennett (Pinkfish) - provided enhancements for parse_command and for the
telnet negotiation code in comm.c (as well as various other small bug
fixes), and the resolve() efun.
John Fehr (Wildcard) - provided patches allowing MudOS to run on Amiga
Anthon Pang (Robocoder) - provided various patches, optimize function
table search, amiga support
Tim Hollebeek (Beek) - LPC->C and patches, compiler rewrite, new function
pointers, etc
Ti-Ming Chiang (Symmetry, Cloud) - Countless optimizations; array, mapping and
save_object rewrites
Svata Dedic (Belgarat) - Win32 fixes, parser fixes, misc fixes
Martin Tyler (Burty) - lex.c fixes, other misc fixes
Troels Therkelsen (Qualin) - numerous bug reports and ideas
Maarten de Jong - amiga compilation via gcc
George Reese (Descartes) - bug reports, original Win32 port, mSQL support
Mark ? (Mystic) - tons of ideas; fixes for exotic options settings
Skeeter Hartwig (Jihad) - numerous bug reports
David Rudy (Aule) - optimizations; high usage testing and stability patches
Greg Stein (Deathblade) - various fixes and bug reports
Ben Gras (Fermat) - MD5 crypt(), various fixes
Kars de Jong (Turrican) - various bug fixes
Simon Matthews (Andrew) - MySQL support, various patches and bug reports
and tons of others who have accidentally been omitted
