NAME
        The ihelp's background - 


DESCRIPTION
	The ihelp system was designed to ease the access to help and
	manual pages in the MUD's documentation. It was created to
	handle both the mortal help pages and the more technical
	information in the wizard's 'man' pages.

	The help files for mortals can be found under /doc/mortal,
	while the man pages for wizards are stored under /doc/wiz/. At
	login, an ihelp object is cloned to each player, and a set-up
	is performed. For mortals, the ihelp is made aware of the help
	files for mortals, while for wizards, the wizard man-pages are
	also added.

	Ihelp uses:
	+ /obj/daemon/ihelpd.c which provides mudlib specific
	  information. 
	+ /obj/daemon/searchd.c which provides search possibilities
	  among the standard files.
	
	Help texts can be added and removed dynamically, for example
	by guilds and clubs.
