Hello,
 The rom/merc/diku credits in 1stmud are not what I was talking about.

 1stmud lists allot of snippets on it's home page with credit to the
original authors.. But the thing is, WotMud that was released on what
used to be egroups, now yahoo groups already had those additions in
it. So basicly, 1STmud appears to be a stock version of Wotmud with
different areas and code that was changed to give it a different
appearance.

1STMUD nanny.c
----
void nanny(Descriptor * d, const char *argument)
{

        if (d->connected != CON_NOTE_TEXT)
        {
                while (isspace(*argument))
                        argument++;
        }

        switch (d->connected)
        {

                default:
                        bugf("Nanny: bad d->connected %d.", d->connected);


WOTMUD nanny.c

/** Function: nanny
  * Descr   : Deals with sockets that have not yet logged in, and also
parses all
  *         : connected ("CON_") states.
  * Returns : (N/A)
  * Syntax  : (N/A)
  * Written : v1.0 3/98
  * Author  : Rom Consortium/Gary McNickle <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
  */
void nanny (DESCRIPTOR_DATA * d, char *argument)
{
  CHAR_DATA *ch;

  /* Delete leading spaces UNLESS character is writing a note */
  if (d->connected != CON_NOTE_TEXT)
  {
    while (isspace (*argument))
      argument++;
  }

  ch = d->character;

  switch (d->connected)
  {
  default:
    bugf ("[nanny.c::nanny] bad d->connected %d.", d->connected);

Even the mud.data files are the same.. 1STMUD removed all of Gary's
headers from every one of the original wotmud files.. Gary wrote
wotmud as far as I remember so there is no way that the 1STMUD author
codes exactly like Gary using the same file structure, datafiles and
addons.. 1STMUD simply switch functions in in different files and
changed the structure of various functions but it is clearly WotMud.

I've been on this list 9 years.. I have every codebase that was ever
released on the internet since 1995 or so.. I've spent many hours
compiling and checking out hundreds of codebases that I have on
cdrms.. I know what codebase is what and who's it was before it became
a another deriv..
