Anyone out here? Why, the "MOO is great!" person herself, of course! Do I ever post about anything else? >I'm interested in learning more about it, especially programming in MOO. ftp to belch.berkeley.edu (128.32.152.202) and fetch one of the following files: pub/moo/LambdaMOO/ProgrammersManual.ps pub/moo/LambdaMOO/ProgrammersManual.texinfo That's the programmer's manual. There are also some code examples on belch (which seems to have been renamed to groan, when did that happen?). Or, you can look at code examples "in the flesh" on a MOO. There are three currently operating MOOs based on Pavel Curtis's work: LambdaMOO (the original), lambda.parc.xerox.com 8888 (13.2.116.36) CyberMOO, umbio.med.miami.edu 7777 (129.171.65.204) [6pm-10am EDT] BevoMOO, sneezy.cc.utexas.edu 4201 (128.83.135.8) Come join in the fun. On Lambda ask me for a programmer bit; I hand them out like candy :-) There is *extensive* online help on the MOOs; Lambda's is the most up to date because that's where MOO development takes place. Occasionally bits of help texts are transferred to the other MOOs; their help system is still quite extensive though, because the help texts are part of the LambdaCore distribution (which is also available for FTP from belch/groan if you are nutso enough to want to set up your own MOO). yduJ on LambdaMOO yduJ@lucid.com 'yduJ' rhymes with 'fudge' -- comp.archives file verification belch.berkeley.edu total 1623 -rw-r--r-- 1 10 86497 May 8 11:57 texinfo.tex drwxr-xr-x 2 10 512 May 7 16:16 satan -rw-r--r-- 1 10 201151 Apr 19 09:25 LambdaCore-11Apr91.db -rw-r--r-- 1 10 112862 Apr 19 09:25 ProgrammersManual.texinfo -rw-r--r-- 1 10 227825 Apr 19 09:25 ProgrammersManual.ps.Z -rw-r--r-- 1 10 861230 Apr 19 09:24 ProgrammersManual.ps -rw-r--r-- 1 10 113237 Apr 19 09:24 LambdaMOO-1.2.0.tar.Z drwxr-xr-x 2 256 1024 Feb 10 12:39 gus_stuff found lambdamoo ok belch.berkeley.edu:/pub/moo/LambdaMOO/
