[DGD] Re: DGD Coders woken up ? (Web page, interdgd, ftp and other stuff)

[Wim van der Vegt]

Hi,

I could perhaps deliver some (free) space on one of the university
webserver, but i can't give upload rights, so uploading/updating would have
to be done through e-mail.
I can edit html, but i don't have much free time to do it.

As for ftp deamons, still on my list of things to code is a set of kfuns for
the lanman api of windows NT4 that would allow you to couple a mud with the
nt user database (bind  users/wizards onto nt accounts and move them into nt
groups) and aand thus enabling you to use the free ms ftp/webservers.
Another thought is binding the objects with nt security (ie let the server
impersonate the nt user and check on the filesystem if it's ok to
edit/access etc).I think of being able to set execute rights for all users
and read and/or write access for wizards.

Another low priority project is building a small exeprimental mud (perhaps
based on melville code) that uses url like syntax for objects
(mud://mud.host.nl/rooms/church.c). Such syntax would enable multiple mud to
work together (imagine a mud server fetching code from another server if the
object is remote).

Btw how many of you are running dgd on windows platform (either for fun or
for real..)?
