3.1 Defining logicals for CircleMUD.

Basically all you need to do to get CircleMUD up and running on your
OpenVMS system is to define the logical CIRCLEMUD_BIN to point to the
directory where the CircleMUD EXE's are stored.

Example:
        $ DEFINE/SYSTEM/EXEC CIRCLEMUD_BIN DISK$WORK:[CIRCLE30BPL14.BIN]

This logical is used by the "autorun" script and MUD_UTILS script in the
[.CIRCLEMUD30BPL14.BIN] directory to define the OpenVMS symbols for the
CircleMUD utilities.

To define the symbols for the CircleMUD utilities, just execute the
MUD_UTILS.COM script in the [.CIRCLEMUD30BPL14.BIN] directory.

        $ SET DEF [.CIRCLE30BPL14.BIN]
        $ @MUD_UTILS

  ------------------------------------------------------------------------

3.2 Starting CircleMUD as a detached process.

To run CircleMUD as a detached process just execute the AUTORUN.COM script
in the root of the CircleMUD directory tree.

        $ SET DEFAULT [.CIRCLE30BPL14.SRC]
        $ @AUTORUN

If you want to modify what account CircleMUD runs under (currently set to
the SYSTEM account) or any other parameters, edit the CIRCLE.COM script in
the [.CIRCLE30BPL14.BIN] directory

  ------------------------------------------------------------------------

3.3 Customizing CircleMUD.

You can customize the login screen as well as other game parameters by
editing the [.CIRCLE30BPL14.SRC]CONFIG.C file to suite your needs. Just
read the comments for each setting.

If you want to edit how the CIRCLE.EXE executes as a detached process on
your system, just edit the [.CIRCLE30BPL14.BIN]CIRCLE.COM script.

  ------------------------------------------------------------------------

3.4 Send me an e-mail.

When you get CircleMUD up and running on your OpenVMS system, drop me a
e-mail and let me know what you think and what platform you are running on
so I can update my list of supported platforms.

If you are going to put CircleMUD on-line as a public MUD, let me know as I
will be putting togheter a list of CircleMUD's running on OpenVMS systems.
