TINYMUX(6)

NAME
tinymux - The TinyMUX mush server

DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents the tinymux server, a mud server in the MUSH family, only briefly.

It provides a number of features including support for Unicode, IPv6, SSL, rich color, external module support, and connectivity to external SQL databases. Using its internal programming language, MUSHcode, this server can be used to build rich, virtual, multi-player environments.

TinyMUX does not provide a superset of all the features available in other MUSH flavors, but those it does implement provide a stable and robust environment that performs as well as or better than that of its peers.

CREDITS
TinyMUX 2.10 is derived from TinyMUX 1.6. It is maintained by Stephen Dennis (Brazil@BrazilMUX) and would not exist without the generous contributions of many individuals. Ideas for features, occasionally code, documentation, project support, bug hunting, came from many places, including TinyMUSH, ChaoticMUX, RhostMUSH, and PennMUSH.

We would like to thank the following people:

- Barbarella@Pacifica for making it fun, for proving to me that MU'ing is a Good Thing (tm), for pulling me into hosting and server work. Without the choices she made, MUX 2.0 would never have happened.

- David Passmore for his long time care and maintenance of TinyMUX.

- Andrew Molitor, for the radix compression library, and some wonderful utilities.

- Soruk from AuroraMUSH for his long time contributions toward making and keeping TinyMUX Linux compatible, as well as the sample config file found in CONFIGURATION.

- T. Alexander Popiel for help with conceptual issues in general and specifically with the parser.

- Steven Legowik (BEM@Erisian.net) for Makefile, cross-platform work, and modifications to Backup.

- Virginia Legowik (Audumla) and Lilith@Sandbox for committed readme and helpfile work. For infrastructure support with web sites and mailing lists. For making a team.

- Ashen-Shugar and RhostMUSH for their bug reports and support.

- Robby Griffyn and ChaoticMUX for bug reports.

- Lew Newby (Dragon) for his stress-testing, cross-platform builds, and bug reports.

- MacGuvyer @ Pacifica for a Unix patch for WoD-realms which led to porting all of MUX 2.0 back to Unix.

- Nick Gammon for the initial prototype of NT IO Completion ports.

- Judge Dredd@Pacifica for specification of WOD_REALMS.
