--{ [S]imulated [M]edieval [A]dventure Multi-[U]ser [G]ame }--
--{SMAUG}-- is a multiplayer text-based role-playing game, which is a type of MUD. It can be used and modified to create your own game server.
--{SMAUG 2.0}-- is an enhancenment of SMAUG 1.8b, this project was started to have an stable source code structure, which will build, install and run in most modern distributed system environments. --{SMAUG 2.0}-- is ready to add, enable and disable new code snippets using the new GNU Autotools build system. Many bug fixes and additions were made to the SMAUG 1.8b source code, always trying to keep the compatibility with SMAUG previous revisions. All path definitions for data files and directories were modified, --{SMAUG}-- installation is now stored into a modern system directory distribution. Old "startd" script was replaced with "smaugd" and "smaugd-monitor", these scripts will start up and keep your MUD server running. If the --{SMAUG}-- server process fails, "smaugd-monitor" will respawn it again. To know more about all these new changes, take a look at the section --{SMAUG}-- ChangeLog.
SMAUG 1.8b, is an fixed SMAUG 1.4a which is a heavily modified derivative of the Merc 2.1 distribution. SMAUG 1.4a is close to six times the size of Merc 2.1, and has major changes to the inner workings of the code, hence making porting of code from other Diku-derivatives non-trivial to the non-coder. Due to the ability to edit most everything online, you will most likely find the online help pages more informative. SMAUG is the base code that runs the popular Realms of Despair MUD. Through the years it has been tweaked, modified, and enhanced to become one of the most feature packed branches of the MERC family of codebases.
SMAUG is a derivative of Merc Diku Mud is a Diku Mud with many enhancements and contributions. It was written in 1990 and 1991 by Sebastian Hammer, Tom Madsen, Katja Nyboe, Michael Seifert, and Hans Henrik StÊrfeldt at DIKU (Datalogisk Institut KÞbenhavns Universitet) at the department of computer science at the University of Copenhagen in Copenhagen, Denmark. Commonly referred to as simply "Diku", the game was greatly inspired by AberMUD, though Diku became one of the first multi-usergames to become popular as a freely-available program for its gameplay and similarity to Dungeons & Dragons.
AberMUD was the first popular open source MUD. It was named after the town Aberystwyth, in which it was written. The first version was written in B by Alan Cox, Richard Acott, Jim Finnis,and Leon Thrane based at University of Wales, Aberystwyth for an old Honeywell mainframe and opened in 1987.

Also check the 'wizhelp', 'help', 'hlist' commands and read the 'help' descriptions for the individual immortal commands.
When you write us, we need to know what kind of machine you're running on. If you can give us specific information about the problem, that helps too.
Specific information means: an adb or gdb stack trace (if you're reporting a crash), or a syslog with the relevant commands logged. The player files are ascii files dump them into your mail message too.
