Re: [MUD-Dev] Spellcaster, or Waving Hands

If folks have really interesting things at a point of completion where you
think outsiders would enjoy it and it would be up relatively consistently
I MAY be able to find you a home on TEN equiptment.  Its got to be Sparc
based because that's what we run here.  (If its generic UNIX and gcc I can
probably set you up with a  compile environment to recompile.)

No promises, sicne I'm not in the positio to make those, but email me if
you think this has possabilities and I'll see what I can do...
