Is there somewhere one can obtain a copy of this old ColdMUD
manual? I'd be happy to continue work on integrating the two into a full
fledged ColdC Manual.

Personally I would like to see the manual evolve to a proper
manual. Oen of the good things about Coldmud was that it had a real
printed manual and I'd like to see ColdX get back to at least that level
for written documentation. Much of the old Coldmud manual can, and IM
oshould, be canibalized to make a enw upt to date manual.
For
function reference my folder full of html pages is adaquate but not as a
real mana`ual I can, for instance, hand to my junior prgormamer and say
"here, you can fidn your anseres in this."
My take is that a
refernce format will continue to be only a refernce format and thsi it is
muche asier to extract refernce from full docs than to go vice
versa.

Thought to meditate
on:
No two objects in nature are equal, any two apples are in fact
quite different from any other two apples in the world.
Thus can
Math really be said to be True in an absolute concrete sense, or is it
merely an internally consistent abstraction?
