Credits
CircleMUD by Jeremy "Ras" Elson and contributors, with Circle-specific copyright credited to the Trustees of Johns Hopkins University. DikuMUD by Hans Henrik Staerfeldt, Katja Nyboe, Tom Madsen, Michael Seifert and Sebastian Hammer. Preserve the complete included credits, world-author attributions and source notices.

License warning
Retain the exact bundled DikuMUD license, CircleMUD README conditions, copyright headers, credits and contributor notices. These include noncommercial and no-fee redistribution restrictions, attribution and notification requirements. Do not substitute a later release's license for the original documents. Historical availability does not establish that redistribution obligations have been fulfilled.

Archive and runtime warnings
This beta release retains mrimm.objs and ras.objs saved-object records, bugs.old and act.movement.c.old backups, and the original world read.me. These files are preserved as historical material, not represented as clean production runtime data. Review runtime records, scripts and defaults before use.

Compatibility and safety warnings
Mudhaven has not compiled, boot-tested or security-audited this historical release. Test in an isolated environment and review all included scripts before execution. Do not assume malware clearance or modern save/world compatibility. Historical addresses and installation instructions may be obsolete.

Compatibility

Historical C source and CircleMUD world/save formats; modern compilers and operating-system compatibility are unverified.

A download checksum confirms file integrity, not security or runtime compatibility. Review the source and included documentation before running unfamiliar software.

Attribution stays with the work.
