Odd... after 30-ish posts in this thread, I still haven't seen anyone mention PerlMud from the brlliant Tom Boutell. I guess it's up to me! {grin}

Thanks! I remembered having heard of such a project, but couldn't recall where or exactly what. Thanks very much for filling me in. Duly downloaded, and I'll install it tonight.

Of course, as one of the intents of my project is to provide sequential play for multiple users at one terminal, PerlMUD won't *exactly* fit the bill, but by heck, it's going to be worth a look.
