[DGD]mac dgd question

[William Jackman]

DGD aficionados,
	Perhaps one of you may be able to help me with my problem. I 
have been running a private mud using dgd 1.1 (of various p#s) on a 
68040 macintosh for almost two years now with a 
ever-increasingly-modified 2.4.5 mudlib. What I would like to do now 
is to be able to write objects which can make network connections 
outside the mud. For instance, a newspaper which can grab text from a 
web page each day, or a machine which can control the weather based 
on real weather data on the web. I have found some information about 
DGD Net version 10, but I am afraid that I lack the coding experience 
required to modify the DGD driver and/or the mudlib enough to be able 
to get it to work--in fact, I'm not even sure which this package 
modifies.
	Can anybody tell me if, and if, how, I could make a 
networkable mudlib/driver on my mac? Or, does anybody have a 
2.4.5-based mudlib or macintosh-compiled DGD driver which they would 
be kind enough to give me, which would allow extra-mud network 
connections? Examples of objects which make such connections would 
also be of great help to me. As you can most certainly tell, I am 
very much a hack--my only programming knowledge has come from playing 
around with the 2.4.5 mudlib over the past two years.
	Thanks for your time.

Cheers,		Lliam
