+Merc Release 2.1
+Sunday 01 August 1993
+
+Furey	mec@shell.portal.com
+Hatchet	hatchet@uclink.berkeley.edu
+Kahn	michael@uclink.berkeley.edu
+
+
+
+=== Introduction
+
+Merc Diku Mud is a Diku Mud with many enhancements and contributions.  See our
+'contrib.txt' and 'help merc' for acknowledgements.  Send us your contribution,
+and you'll be in there too!
+
+Enjoy our mud.  May your visit here be ... Mercenary.
+
+This is the 2.1 production release of Merc.
+
+
+
+=== Copyright and License
+
+Diku Mud is copyright (C) 1990, 1991 by Sebastian Hammer, Michael Seifert,
+Hans Henrik St{rfeldt, Tom Madsen, and Katja Nyboe.  Their license agreement
+is in the file 'license.doc'.
+
+Merc Diku Mud is a derivative of the original Diku Mud and is subject to their
+copyright and license agreement.  Merc Diku Mud contains substantial
+enhancements to Diku Mud.  These enhancements are copyright 1992, 1993 by
+Michael Chastain, Michael Quan, and Mitchell Tse.  Our license agreement is in
+'license.txt'.
+
+The license terms boil down to this: the people who wrote this mud want due
+credit for their work.
+
+
+
+=== Contents of the Release
+
+	area	Area files.
+	doc	Documentation.
+	log	Log files    (initially empty).
+	player	Player files (initially empty).
+	src	Source files.
+
+
+
+=== How to Install
+
+First, group with your highest level Unix guru, and have him or her tank.
+Merc is easier to install than other muds, but every site is different.
+
+(1) Get the release Merc_21.tar.gz from one of these fine anonymous ftp
+    sites:
+
+	ftp.tcp.com (formerly ferkel.ucsb.edu)
+	ftp.math.okstate.edu
+
+(2) Unpack the release:
+
+	gzip -d -c Merc_21.tar.gz | tar xvf -
+
+(3) Go into the 'src' directory.  Choose the Makefile for your operating
+    system and copy it into 'Makefile':
+
+	Makefile	Most machines with 'gcc'
+	Makefile.aix	AIX
+	Makefile.hp	Hp/UX
+	Makefile.isc	Interactive Systems Unix
+	Makefile.mip	Mips Risc/OS
+	Makefile.nex	NeXT
+	Makefile.sol	SunSoft Solaris 2.1
+	Makefile.tra	Traditional C (see 'trad.txt')
+
+    Merc.exe, a pre-built MsDos executable, is included in the release.
+    See 'port.txt' for more information on porting, including the
+    single-user MsDos and Macintosh versions.
+
+(4) Run 'make' with the following options:
+
+	make -k >&! make.out
+
+    This will take 10 minutes to 60 minutes, depending on the speed of your
+    computer.
+
+    If you encounter errors with 'make', send us your 'make.out' file:
+
+	mail -s make.out mec@shell.portal.com < make.out
+
+    Also we'll need to know what kind of hardware, operating system,
+    and C compiler you have.
+
+    We will help you get Merc running, but obviously we can't guarantee
+    Merc will run on any particular machine.
+
+(5) Start the game:
+
+	startup &
+	telnet localhost 4000
+
+(6) To make your first immortal character, just start as a mortal
+    character, play at least as far as level 2, and then edit the
+    player file and change your level.  (After the first immortal,
+    you can advance the rest).
+
+(7) If you haven't already done so, read 'license.doc' and 'license.txt'.
+    Because Merc is a derivative work of Diku Mud, you must register
+    your mud with the original Diku implementors.
+
+(8) Of course you're going to change the title screen, help files, and so on.
+    Don't just globally erase the 'Merc' references, ok?  You wouldn't
+    like it if we did that to your work, so don't do it to ours.
+
+
+
+=== Support
+
+First, read the documentation in the 'doc' directory.  We rewrote all of the
+documentation files from scratch for the 2.0 Alpha release, and have been
+keeping them up-to-date since.
+
+Also check the 'wizhelp' command and read the 'help' descriptions for the
+individual immortal commands.
+
+There is a mailing list at 'merc@kpc.com'.  Send mail to 'merc-request@kpc.com'
+to join the list.
+
+You can write to us directly at the e-mail addresses at the top of this
+document.
+
+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.
+
+If your e-mail is too vague, we're likely to bounce it back.  There are three
+of us and dozens of you -- we simply can't engage in long-distance debugging,
+on unknown platforms, with the added factor of more code that you've dropped in
+since the release.
+
+
+
+=== Future Plans
+
+We have finished core development of Merc.  There will never be a Merc 3.
+It's your mud now -- the end of our development is the beginning of yours.
+
+We will continue making maintenance releases to fix bugs, add new platform
+support, and fold in contributed code and areas.  The next release of Merc,
+version 2.2, will be on 05 Sep 1993.
