Mordor ASCII Database -- 18 MAR 96 The files in this directory are an ascii version of the database for the Mordor MUD. These are provided for Mordor users that need to convert the normally binary version to their particular system. If you are running Mordor on a machine with an Intel 80X86 prosessor you do not need these files. To create the binary versions of this database, you will also need to get the ascii to bin to ascii converter and compile it on your system. You can then use it to covert these ascii files to a binary for your system. This converter can be gotten from: ftp://parker.bio.uci.edu/pub/mordor/ascbin_1.0.tar.gz A simple shell script is included that will automate this process (conv.sh). It assumes that your ascii to bin to ascii converter (usually named 'ab') is in ~/util/ascbin and that you have untarred this archive as well as the Mordor archive in ~ (or your home directory for the game). If you have questions post to rec.games.mud.admin or rec.games.mud.misc.
