    Here are the files for MUD1, which certainly predates diku. I haven't bothered looking at the code (zero knowledge of bcpl), but I'm guessing .mob files aren't generated by it.

    Its probably more of academic interest than anything else, but the original Essex MUD (aka MUD1, British Legends) is available with source code and source mudlib using a GNU 3 licence. The downside is you will need a Dec PDP10 to run it. https://github.com/PDP-10/MUD1
