wimpy instructions for running CI version 1.2:

Ok, what you've got in your hands right now is a program called
CI. It runs an interpreted C-like language called CI-C.
If you haven't run an LP-Mud, I suggest not trying to run this one,
because the docs I have suck.... this is after all a beta test.

CI-C is very much like C, and even more like LP-C.
A list of the function calls (well, most of them) is available
online with the 'man' command.

To compile netci, do 'make'
Easy, huh?

To start up netci, do

netci -create&

A sample database, sample.db, is included with the distribution.
To run with the sample database, use:

netci -load=sample.db&

This sticks it in the background and connects it to port 5000.
Connect to it - the only character predefined by the code in
ci.dir is Wizard, with password potrzebie.


e.g.
% telnet localhost 5000
   (....)
connect wizard potrzebie


To get a list of command-line options, try 'netci -help'

Experiment - read through the code in ci.dir to get a feel for 
CI-C...
email wetmore@titan.ucs.umass.edu if you have bug reports, questions,
suggestions, etc...

What i'm looking for is a variety of mudlibs to package with the final
distribution...

Anyways, be sure to read through the 'hide' and 'unhide' portions of the
on-line man pages. They cover how the filesystem works...
