[DGD]Newbie problem ... Please help

[mtaylor]

Thanks for the help Erwin :)

I agree probably the best idea is to WIZ on an existing mud ... However my
schedule is hectic and I think (maybe foolishly) that I'll be able to work
it out as I go. I actually understand most of the code in the lib ... But
find the networking side of stuff more difficult. I'm not sure where I
should put the code ... In terms of folders etc.

I'm using a Macintosh ... I think that my unpack program has created
problems with the code for the mudlib I downloaded.
There doesn't seem to be any documentation helping people write mudlibs or
on how to properly run the lib with the Driver.

What file do I alter? Where do I put the mudlib folder? Where do I put the
driver folder? Any documentation you know of?

Thanks again 

Matt
