Running the server

Questions about running (executing) the PennMUSH server.

Debugging - if you have problems with program crashes (access violation, segmentation fault etc.) try looking at the postings about debugging with gdb for some hints on using the GNU debugger.

Some information about playing PennMUSH (attributes, locks etc.) can be found at Introduction to playing MUSH games.

For a lot more information about PennMUSH including softcode, see the 101 Schoolhouse at M*U*S*H.
