This is the Administrator's Gudie for MOZ (Moo in OZ). MOO is Mud
Object Oriented.  MUD is Multi-User Dungeon or Dimension.  In general,
a MUD is a multi-user text-based virtual environment.  For information
on MUDs in general, see <http://www.godlike.com/muds/> or your local
search engine.  For information on MOOs, see
<http://www.moo.mud.org/moo-faq/>.

   Oz is a multi-paradigmatic language that happens not to suck.  See
<http://www.mozart-oz.org/>.

     severe") are printed.

 - Argument: -port
     Specifies the port to make available for player connections.

 - Argument: -rootdir

     you're about to destroy everything.

Administration Commands
***********************

 - Command: reload all [classes]
     Re-reads all of the .class files and runs upgrade on every object
     in the MOZ _except_ the Storage object.  So, basically, refreshes
     all of the running MOZ's code.  Used after upgrades and such.

 - Command: bless type object
     Used to bless an object with special capabilities, generally on the
     Storage object.

     Possible Types
    GATE
          Gives a Gate the ability to take tickets from URLs and use
          them.

    TERMINUS
          Gives a Terminus the ability to write a pickle file for
          itself.  Note that to be useful, the pickle file will have to
          be web-accessible in some fashion.
