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

Current version: 2.5.0  (See DOCS/diffs for changes from last version)

This is a short file giving an overall view of the Ogham MUD system.

Getting started
---------------

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 "fred" , 
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 , demigods 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.
   I have included a small mudlib with this distribution which is in the
/island directory. It is part of a much larger much which I am writing myself
and it contains some important examples of how to do things. Eg the shop
with Old Salty, the room under the waterfall which allows you to sleep and
recover stamina etc...


Compatability with Ogham 2.2 and below
--------------------------------------

There are quite a number of changes in this version compared to 2.2, some
affecting compatability, others not. I STRONGLY suggest you read the 
DOCS/diffs file for a list of these to see if your mudlib code will need to
be altered. In case your wondering what happened to versions 2.3 and 2.4, well
they never existed. So many changes have been made to this version that I 
felt the version number 2.5 reflected the amount of difference better than
2.3 would have. Besides, this is what Microsoft did for NT so if its good
enough for the worlds richest nerd, sorry , I mean the god Gates .... :)


Compatability with Ogham 1
--------------------------

Forget it.


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

This software is copyright to me. 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 :)
