This file records changes that have been made to AberMUD II, the
UNIX version.

I think that ABERMUD is no longer maintained by the original authors,
but I could be wrong.  When I got a copy of the program, I thought
it was an "orphan" so I extensively cleaned it up. --rsalz

Rich $alz, rsalz@bbn.com or rsalz@uunet.uu.net; February, 1989.

I wrote a real Makefile, cleaned up all the program generation stuff
(it's all in the file generate.c, called as needed from the Makefile).
Renamed the drivers to be mud and mudprog instead of gamego, gmain2.

Edited all the documentation files and put it into one file formatted
for the -ms macros.

Added USE_MACROS for speed.

Linted the code, used typedfs.

Removed the ability to call BBOARD and CHAT programs.  This should
either go back in, so that Abermud can be used as a login program,
or it should be removed altogether and the front-end program should
just be merged in.

Removed some dead code.

Created one header file with all config parameters, global variables,
etc.
