One was released publicly as NiMUD or "The Isles MUD" by authors Herbert "Locke" Gilliland and Christopher "Surreal" Woodward (deceased) in 1992 and 1993, respectively. It was inspired by the online building system of Hidden Worlds, which Locke had been a player on.
It changed the way Dikumud worlds were created, providing an outlet for those who wished to edit the game. Permission was granted to Jason Dinkel to port it to other softwares as "ILAB/OLC" The software's popularity continues to grow, as it has been ported to a variety of MUD softwares and is currently included in at least 35 derived works. OLC became known as "Ivan OLC", "EnvyOLC", "ROMolc" and "ILAB/OLC" (the original port of the software).
