MUD Object Oriented          (MOO) One of the many {MUD} spin-offs (e.g. {MUSH},       {MUSE}, and {MUX}) created to diversify the realm of       interactive text-based gaming.   A MOO is similar to a MUSH in       that the users themselves can create objects, rooms, and code       to add to the environment.          The most frequently used {server} {software} for running a MOO       is {LambdaMOO} but alternatives include {WinMOO       (http://www-personal.umich.edu/~cunkel/WinMOO/)} and       {MacGoesMOO       (http://neon.ci.lexington.ma.us/SpamCentral/scaron/mgm.html)}.          (1999-05-25)
