*******************************  OGHAM 2 **********************************

Current version: 2.8.12  (See CHANGELOG for changes from last version)

Getting started
---------------
This mud system is only for those who are competant C programmers. Sure you 
can compile and run the mud as is but you'll soon want more and unless you
know what you're doing you may be in for a hard time trying to expand the
mudlib as it is written in C and compiles in with the server code etc to form
a single binary executable.

Once you have compiled the mud (see DOCS about this) type "go" which is a
a short shell script and the mud will automatically run itself as a background
process. Log into the mud using the test login: username "melkor", password 
"test" and you will be given god priviledges.

A god is currently level 22 though this can be changed by changing the
macros. (wizards are level 20 , arch wizards level 21).

   Some objects are created in the mud on startup , other you can clone
yourself once in the mud. Type "masters" for a full list of objects available
then type "clone <object_name>" to create the object in your current room.
Type "help commands" for a list of commands. The "wizdata" command will show
you the object and room numbers whenever you do a look.


Bugs
----
There are over 15,700 lines of code in this distribution. Therefore it is
pretty damn likely you'll come across some bugs either in the mudlib or the
server code itself. If you do please email me with the details and hopefully
I can put in a fix in the next release.


Copyright etc
-------------

This software is copyright to me (Neil Robertson). It may be altered to suit 
your specific needs but please remember the original copyright is mine and 
also PLEASE note any modifications in the "version" command. This is so I don't
get bug reports for code that is nothing to do with me.

If you have any genuine problems or bugs email me, but I DO NOT want email
telling me how you don't like the code and how I should alter it or anything
along those lines. If you don't like it alter it yourself but don't blame me
if it goes wrong.

Anyway , thats about it. Go and read the stuff in the DOCS directory and
have fun :)
