Well, Cold doesn't HAVE a built in pareser, you roll your own out of very
useful highlevel net communciation and text-mathcing commands...
BUt Cold certainly isn't designed for a virtual world, its rather more a
hihgly obnject oriented generic server building toolkit with strong string
and list handling facilities.
If I ever get back to Kelvin its going to be very closely related because
this is what I peresonally want-- a generic environment I ccan do almos
tanything with.
