We extend a hearty thanks to all who have tested Envy source on these
ports:

rks@ipdinc.com

=== The source files

If you want these, get UE_0.87j.tgz.  It will decompress with WinZip.



=== The startup scripts

startupW95.bat	- Is the startup script for EnvyMud on Windows 95
startupWNT.cmd	- Is the startup script for EnvyMud on Windows NT

The startup script will run the executable named 'envy2'.

To enter the game, type 'telnet localhost 4000' from the machine you are running the mud.



=== What is new, what is old

This source is based on the Envy 2.2 release source code.  Some internal
workings have changed and some player visible improvements have been made.
I've been developing the code for the past 3 months with extensive playing.
Unfortunately, there might be bugs i have missed.  If you encounter errors
or bugs, first check your code additions then forward questions to me at
vasc@camoes.rnl.ist.utl.pt, please check with your local Unix/GCC guru first,
since i'm only one person here!  And i'm no genius either ;-)

All in all, Envy will "feel" like any other MERC mud out there.  Envy is
designed to go beyond the MERC releases and make into reality many
improvements that went undone in the MERC releases.

Envy does not support traditional C compilers.

Envy no longer runs on MSDOS machines.  The alternative provided are
the Windows 95/NT ports.  Also, you may load Linux or BSD on your PC
to compile or modify Envy.

See 'new.txt' to see a more accurate list of changes done to the code.

See 'next.txt' to see what might be included in the next release.
