Folks,
Does anyone know about VMS monster (MUD-like adventure game for VMS system)?
http://www.skrenta.com/monster/
That page mentions new version of monster is available with MDL (Monster
Definiton Language).
In 1980s, that was MUD server on VMS system for BITNET network. I played it
through BITNET (send command) until admin asked maintainers to shut it down
due to excessively resources.
That MUD server was pueblo at psuvms on BITNET.
I asked them for sw package but they decided to keep it themselves.
However I can now write a program to handle messages by using send command
but I still need JNet programming guides to implement that.
I have JNet software and recently installed it on my VMS system. I figured
out how to install and configure JNet because I do not have JNet manuals.
JNet supports DECnet and TCP links for sending messages and files to
specific users.
