| Just a note, Newt, who wrote the Imperium Gothique version, is a lurker 
| here. I used a version of his script in a Rom I ran a couple of years ago.

	Not so much a lurker as plagued w/ a lousy ISP and too little time...
	
| This has three major results. #1 - clients have most of the personal memory
| (as opposed to game critical data, which is kept secure on the host) making
| limitations on memory a nonissue.
| #2 - clients could theoretically become 100% graphical, or any varient on
| such, with no penalty on gameplay for text clients.
| #3 - the internal language becomes a representational resource allocation
| and assembly system, instead of a text scripting system.
| 
| This third result is the one relevant here. I'd like some feedback on what
| might be possible with such a system.

	I read somewhere someone using Java VM as the script driver in
	a MUD... now, THAT would be cool!

I never regret my failures, but I regret every missed opportunity.
