This is 'psyced', the multi-user virtual environment.
It is a server and gateway implementation of PSYC.

The latest version is available on http://www.psyced.org/download

The project homepage is http://www.psyced.org
The protocol homepage is http://www.psyc.eu
The user manual resides at http://help.pages.de

psyced isn't just a PSYC server; it also simulates the
functionality of PSYC clients allowing users of various
sorts of more or less dumb applications to enter the PSYCspace.

psyced is implemented in LPC and uses a driver called psyclpc.
Why LPC you ask? http://about.psyc.eu/LPC
See INSTALL for details.

The files in the distribution directory are:
  AGENDA.txt	: future plans (not a TODO really)
  BANNER.txt	: advertisement or welcome message
  COPYLEFT.txt	: GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
  INSTALL.txt	: installation hints and notes
  LICENSE.txt	: something you are supposed to read (copyright info)
  README.txt

  install.sh	: an installation script (ksh/bash).
  makefile	: some useful functions (optional).
  bin/		: various scripts
		  but the only one you really need, "psyced",
		  will be created by 'install.sh'.
  config/	: depot of configurations.
		  also contains some tcsh and powwow settings.
  data/		: this is where psyced stores your user and room data.
  local/	: your local configuration of the server
		  is created by 'install.sh' but you can also make
		  it a symlink into a config/something directory
  log/		: where the server logfiles end up.
		  may be a symlink into the /var partition.
  place/	: here you can implement your own room objects in lpc.
                  some examples of public rooms are waiting for you there.
  run/    	: the LPC equivalent of a CGI directory. LPC can spawn
		  a subprocess to do some jobs which are too hard to achieve
		  in LPC-world. see about:spawn on this.
  utility/	: the applet code and other things that may be useful.
  world/    	: this is the directory tree that is visible from
                  within the lpc interpreter and therefore contains
                  all the actual lpc program code.
       data/		: symlink to data/
       default/   	: the text database for multiple languages and formats
       drivers/   	: glue code to interface LPC drivers to psyced
       local/		: symlink to local/
       log/		: symlink to log/
       net/		: all of the psyced code is in a "net" hierarchy
			: so it can be merged with an existing MUD
       obj/		: just in case you misconfigured your driver
       place/		: symlink to place/
       static/   	: contains static files for httpd export
			: you can use them with the internal httpd
			: or copy them to yours

Don't be disturbed by the way traditional LPC drivers keep their LPC
source files with a ".c" suffix and data files with a ".o" suffix.
More oddities are described in http://www.psyced.org/DEVELOP if you want
to find your way around the psyced source code.
