Well, code, dgdm lpc4, lpmud, mudos are not codebases. They're drivers. (i'm
not sure about amylaar, but it should be a driver too).

LPs are different than standart MUDs, technically. There's a "driver", which
is like the interpreter in a scripting language. The driver opens the
configured port, waits for connections, and when somebody connects, calls a
function in the "codebase" (the mud itself). When you're making a LP Mud, you
do not write something like mudos, or dgd, you write scripts that will be
runned using mudos, dgd, etc, the driver.

You can see http://www.imaginary.com for mudos website, i had used MUDOS.
There're codebases for MUDOS, etc, there you can find a list of codebases.

Well, this LPC (if it was LP, then there should be driver names, if it is LPC,
then there should be codebase names, and for which driver they're designed
for) part should look like:

  |   |-- shadowblahblah   [MUD - designed for MUDOS]
  |   |-- laylaylom        [MOO - designed for DGD]
  |   |-- .....            ....

If it happens once, it's a bug.
If it happens twice, it's a feature.
If it happens more than twice, it's a design philosophy.
