Subject: Where Did My Server Log Go?

I got my moo up and running, at which point my server log was alive and 
well in the same directory as the moo program itself.  After doing some 
stuff, I changed options.h to enable outward bound connections and 
recompiled the moo.  I started it back up with my fixedup db and all went 
well except that there are no current entries in my server log.  What 
happened?

Subject: [LIST] Digest disagreements...

While I understand how the digest can become useful, it makes it
difficult to reply to messages posted before... at least, not as
easy.  Would it be possible to send each other message as a MIME
attached part?  Would this be helpful?  I think it might be nice
to separate the messages that way...

MOO 1.8.0 comes with special binary ways of sending non-printable characters.
try this:    

set_connection_option(player,"binary",1);
notify(player,encode_binary("This is ",27,"[7mInverse.",27,"[m"));
set_connection_option(player,"binary",0);

>;#410:("open")()

>;#410:("close")()
>You close nothing.
>=> 0
>;#410.opened
>=> 0

As the pronoun_sub line uses '%d' you have to set dobj;

;;dobj=#410;#410:("open")();
You open object-name.

Subject: Re:  Verb operation

In order to evoke a verb that uses dobj through an eval, you need to set 
what the dobj equals first.  Try

;;dobj = #410; dobj:open();

It's this way for all the command-parser defined variables.

Hi.  I've recently, 1st January, moved my email address, although
my old one still .forwards stuff to me.

I have unfortunately been very busy for the past few months, so haven't
yet even downloaded and compiled 1.8 yet, never mind convert the patch.

I think the first thing is to ask Pavel (Consider yourself asked Pavel :)
to include chr() and asc() in the 1.8 version.  It is a sufficiently
asked for patch to warrant it I think.  The verbs work best as wiz only.

Also, another very handy patch is being able to send unterminated lines
although perhaps some of these binary type functions I glanced at might
do the trick.  It's very handy for implementing a prompt.

Regards,

Ian.

Subject: CDA and the "death" of the net

I think we'll find that the CDA is going to be the one that loses.
The government might bag a few scapegoats along the way, but they're
trying to put a finger in the dyke and haven't realized that there is
no dyke.

Free speech may be a smoking gun, but supply and demand are atom
bombs.  If people want it, they'll get it.

It's my opinion that per-router packet-metering will be the death of
the internet, but you never know -- people may just start laying down
their own transmission lines...

Subject: user_[client_]disconnected

According to the documentation, #0:user_disconnected() gets called if =
boot_player() is called to boot the user off the system, and =
#0:user_client_disconnected() gets called if the client makes the =
disconnection.  This doesn't seem to be the case, though.   I have my =
verb defined on #0 as "user_disconnected user_client_disconnected" and =
when I tell it to tell me the value of 'verb' it always tells me =
"user_disconnected" no matter which way a user gets disconnected.

Subject: ATTN: Macintosh port of 1.8.0alpha6 server available!

We are pleased to announce a successful port of the 1.8.0alpha6 
MOOserver!

MacGoesMOO is fully functional and supports both TCP/IP (incoming and 
outgoing) and single-user modes. It's being distributed as a Fat 
binary for a nice speed boost on PPC machines. It {has, will have} many 
run-time configurable options, including OUTBOUND_NETWORK, and the initial 
listening port (current default is 8888).

We have a pseudo-mailing-list set up for the discussion of MGM, and if 
you'd like to subscribe, send mail to:
mgm-request@neon.ci.lexington.ma.us
with "subscribe mgm-l" in the subject line.

The MGM home page can be accessed at:
http://neon.ci.lexington.ma.us/SpamCentral/scaron/mgm.html
and the ftp URL for MGM is:
ftp://neon.ci.lexington.ma.us:1221/pub/MGM10b1.sea.hqx
(Netscape doesn't seem to handle nonstandard ftp ports, so you'll have to 
use Fetch or some other Web browser)

We're asking that anybody with an interest in a stable Mac version of MGM 
please try it out and find any bugs that we may have missed. ;>

Ignore that last message from me about user_disconnected and =
user_client_disconnected.  My train of thought was way off target, and =
'proper' testing reveals it works just fine as documented.
