License warning Preserve doc/license.doc, doc/license.txt, doc/rom.license, doc/rom.credits, doc/rot.license and README material. Inherited DikuMUD, Merc, ROM and RoT conditions are layered, not an unrestricted-use license. Preserve source notices, copyright and license text, login/help attribution, applicable notifications, noncommercial/no-distribution-charge restrictions and derivative-identification/naming conditions. The included RoT terms also specify network-access conditions. Historical contact addresses may no longer work. Archive availability does not establish that all redistribution conditions have been satisfied. Compatibility and safety warnings Includes batch/CGI/Perl scripts, machine-specific build metadata and two nonempty player records with password fields. Review and replace inherited accounts and credentials before deployment. No ELF/MZ executable was detected. Modern compiler and operating-system compatibility are unverified. This package has not been compiled, boot-tested, malware-certified or comprehensively security-audited. Review bundled runtime data, credentials, configuration and historical scripts before use. Do not execute bundled programs or scripts blindly. All original files and notices are retained unchanged.
Compatibility
Legacy Visual C++ Windows target; not a verified ready-to-run binary package.
