DikuED - Historical MS-DOS Area Editor

About this resource

Original dikueddosexe.zip containing DIKUED.EXE, readme.txt and ftp_game.org. This is a historical editing tool, not a complete MUD codebase or a source-code release.

License warning
The short README establishes the MS-DOS compilation credit only. No explicit redistribution license was found in the package, and archive provenance does not establish permission. Preserve all included notices and obtain licensing approval before public distribution.

Compatibility and binary warning
The executable has an MZ header and is documented as an MS-DOS build. Do not label it as a native modern Windows application or run it on the hosting server. An appropriate isolated legacy environment may be needed. The binary has not been executed or malware-certified, and no source code is bundled.

Credits
The README credits Thoric (Derek Snider) for compiling the executable for MS-DOS. It does not establish sole original authorship of the editor; preserve all embedded and accompanying notices.

Historical software warning
Modern compiler and operating-system compatibility are unverified. No compilation, boot test, malware certification or comprehensive security audit has been performed. Review configuration and bundled scripts before deployment. Original bytes, notices and documentation remain unchanged.

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.
