spico - Secure Pico for MUD++ OLC

The CPYRIGHT file with the spico package should be read before use.
I made a reasonable effort to verify that this editor is secure enough
to be used by untrusted builders but I make no guarantee whatsoever
and am not responsible for ANY damage incurred by using this software.
It is provided as a convenience only.

If you are reading this as part of the MUD++ package you need to ftp
spico.tar.gz from the same site or from the home site:

phoenix.mercer.{peachnet.}edu/mud++/addons/spico.tar.gz

Changes:    Runs in 'tool' mode by default.
            Disallows read-in as well as directory browsing.
            Disallows explicit write-out.
            Disallows editing a file with '/' in the name.

To install for MUD++ OLC:

- Build spico by copying the correct makefile.??? to makefile and
  typing make.

- Copy spico to mud++/bin

By default, global.h in MUD++ has a #define SECURE_EDITOR "../bin/spico"
If you have another secure editor you want to use as the DEFAULT editor
then change this. Remember, it only takes one hole to trash your whole
directory tree so be very sure the editor is secure.

If someone wants to help, hack out all the disabled stuff such as
file browsing to make the spico exe smaller.
