I have now actually built a little 11 room area with the area creator (very,
very small cigars all around). However, while it looks alright on
"walkthrough" mode, I have no idea if it actually works.

If I download Smaug, how does a man with no programming experience go about
plugging in an "AreaEditor Document"? Any ideas?

For that matter, even if it does work, does anyone know how I make such a
document useful to others, who might conceivably want to add a little area
to their mud?

Is there a way to do that apart from actually playing SMAUG? More to the
point, is there a way do do that without playing SMAUG when you are a
programming ignoramus?

In what ways do you think that Circlemud (or its associated programs) are
better than SMAUG?

Thanks,
Adam
