Its been roughly a year since this post and the code is actively still being developed. I've made some decent progress on TeenyMUSH. I've stripped out the mysql support and gone with a strictly memory based formal. Dumps are now a full backup daily with periodic incremental files. This should provide a much smaller foot print while requiring less knowledge on setup. The incremental dumps have brought the size of a days worth of files down dramatically and shortened the window of loss from 1 hour to 5 minutes. Its probably less as Perl will catch crashes and dump any cached data. I've simplifed installation down to downloading the script and a help file and running it. Compatibility with TinyMUSH is growing every day. Myrddin's BBS 5.0 now installs and works. TeenyMUSH even now supports a tmshell functionality for running MUSH code from the shell. Ever wanted to take something you MushCoded and run it like an actual command? now you can. Rename teenymush.pl to tmshell and then issue commands like tmshell <command>. Since there are to many changes changes to discuss, so see http://ascii.dynu.net/changes for more details.
