CircleMUD 2.2 for OS/2 - ported by Clayton O'Neill
This is a straight forward port of CircleMUD to OS/2. What follows is general
notes on usage.
IBM TCP/IP 2.0 Base Kit is required. The 1.2 and 1.21 kits may work, but
CircleMUD was compiled with the 32-bit libraries so it will at least have to
be recompiled.
To recompile you will need to have the TCP/IP PDK installed and also have
IBM C Set/2 installed. The OS/2 Toolkit is not required.
The autowiz program is not automatically called like is described in the
docs. This could be easily added and probably will be if someone asks.
All of the shell scripts that were included in the original CircleMUD
distribution have been converted to REXX scripts with the same name.
The original utilities are included in case you have a problem with the
REXX versions. All of the scripts have not been tested and may not work, but
should.
Included additionally is a touch program that is required for some of the
shutdown options to work. This will be automatically made by makefile.os2
and the binary is included in the bin directory. Because of this the bin
directory should be in your path so that it can be found.
If you are contemplating recompiling the source (Hopefully you are if you
really want to run a MUD) then you will need to have NMAKE (Included in the
OS/2 2.0 and greater Toolkit). The makefile for the OS/2 version of CircleMUD
is in the src directory and is called Makefile.OS2
If you actually do use this or if you have any questions about the code please
feel free to drop me a line. I don't plan on further development of this unless
someone asks (I'm not running a mud, I was just bored and ported it:).
