	While the code produced is not exactly a spell as a such, the
LambdaMOO server (Example at lambda.parc.xerox.com 8888) has an interactive
object oriented programming language in which the entire game database
(everything from the generic room class to the generic object class,
including basic commands like "Say" or "look") has been written in an object
oriented language called MOO .. It's quite fascinating, and most anybody can
get programmer capabilities on LambdaMOO.  Give it a try.

	Indeed!  And I think LambdaMOO is one of the best muds out there,
especially as far as programming goes.  It certainly slaughters all the
popular systems out there like DikuMUD or Tiny* .

And that is how it has turned out to be...
