License warning
Important: the doc directory is empty and no README material was found. Source headers reference license.doc, license.txt, rom.license and rot.license, but those files are absent. Applicable licensing evidence must be obtained before approval. Another release's documents must not be assumed to confer permission for this snapshot.
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 notes, ideas, copyover state, clan records, CGI/Perl scripts and .orig/.rej patch remnants. Review inherited messages and runtime state before deployment. OLC headers identify version 1.5a. 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

Historical Unix target with a Solaris define enabled in source; modern compatibility 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.
