This is the first release of the Inq codebase.  It was under active 
development from 19 January 1999 to 24 August 2003.  This codebase was 
derived from ROM, and is held to all licensing agreements pertaining to 
ROM, Merc and Diku.  It's official derivative heirarchy is:
	    Diku --> Merc 2.1 --> Rom 2.4 --> Inq 2.5
The Inq codebase was proprietary in nature, and underwent numerous version 
updates before acheiving the 2.5 status.

Development of this codebase ceased in August of 2003, although numerous
bugs still exist.  It is no longer maintained, and bugfixes will need to
be posted with word of mouth.  The authors of this codebase - Bazarov,
Binky, Ejer and Robbert - remain active within the MUDding community, but
have new projects they are working on, and do not maintain an active
repository of this code, therefore cannot maintain upkeep of it.

Release of this codebase was approved by Tamara, the driving force of the 
Inq codebase, in October 2004.  It's use is subject to the licensing as 
outlined in the file inq.license, contained within this directory.
