These diffs allow TinyMUD to be built on a System V machine without
networking by using named pipes for IPC. They have been tested only
under System V/386 Release 3.2 (ESIX and ISC). They were developed
for TinyMUD v1.5.4 as distributed in comp.sources.games, volume 11.
Also required is the file xenix_diffs from the same c.s.g volume.
How to install:
1. Unpack all archives.
2. Apply the Xenix diffs with "patch < xenix.diffs"
3. Apply the System V diffs with "patch < sysv.diffs"
4. Run "joinspl.sh".
5. Run a make.
6. The server is started by typing "fifonetmud dbfile dumpfile".
"small.db" is included in the distribution and can be used for "dbfile".
7. The supplied client is "tinymud.sh"
Notes:
TinyMUD requires an ANSI C compiler. gcc works fine.
My implementation of the FD_* macros in "fakeselect.h" will only
allow about 14 players in the game. A better implementation would be
required to allow more players.
