Yeah, SpaceMaster/RoleMaster is the PRIME style of game for MUD's....the
darn game is so math intensive, it can only speed it up :) And the
criicals are definitely worth the fun ;)

Don't be too sure on the mac aspect. Macs have a Thread Manager
extension that takes care of this. You just have to access it. I
personally don't know how to do this, but you can do it. Also, I heard
NT has threading capabilities, but I haven't heard anything on Win 95.

That's the best way to handle it...it would be best to do this kind of an
undertaking in that way, not only do you get the features working the way
you want it, you aren't bound by liscences and can sell it ;)
