Not me....though I respect the person who said it. I haven't been posting
because of two reasons:
1) Been very busy on work-related projects (c.f. www.homeseller.net)
2) We are converting our NT/Xbase web work stuff to a UNIX/Cache (from
InterSystems in Boston, MA). This enviroment is somewhat expensive for a MUD
but has awesome potential. It is a Post Relational DBMS that uses
object-oriented, multi-dimentional arrays. Unlike other OODBMS's Cache is
faster than a scalded ape, running 7-20 times faster than Oracle/SQL Server,
et. al. when doing complex multi-table joins (which would be the rule in a
mud with a database backend.) The stuff runs on WIN XX and NT as well as
UNIX boxes the size of Cleveland...so at last, I don't have to trust GatesCo
for scalability.
<<more interesting stuff cut>>
>-Raph
Hope to convert from lurker to active in a few months.
