About this resource
RoT 2.0 beta 5 source and world distribution with OLC and MOBprogram support. ZIP packaging alone does not identify a Windows port. Credits RoT: Russ Walsh. ROM: Russ Taylor, Gabrielle Taylor, Brian Moore and rom.credits contributors. Merc: Michael Chastain, Michael Quan and Mitchell Tse. DikuMUD: Sebastian Hammer, Michael Seifert, Hans Henrik Staerfeldt, Tom Madsen and Katja Nyboe. Preserve all individual source and world credits.

MOBprograms: Markku Nylander, based on N'Atas-ha's concept, with distribution governed by the referenced ROM terms. OLC adaptation: Ivan Toledo. License warning Preserve bundled license documents, rom.credits and README material. The included RoT license identifies 1.4/1996-1997 while source headers identify 2.0/1996-1999; this historical discrepancy requires review. 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, news/change messages, clan data and scripts. Review inherited runtime data before deployment. OLC headers identify version 1.7. 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/Linux source target; 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.
