tinymux — The TinyMUX mush server
Description
This manual page documents briefly the tinymux mush server. It was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.This is the TinyMUX flavor of mud servers of the MUSH branch. It provides a number of robust features to enable players to extend the virtual world. This is done by building new rooms and objects, and utilizing its internal programming language, MUSHcode.
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.

TinyMUX 2.6 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
