I found that moo works fine with small text codes, such as RIPterm.  a
RIPterm picture takes about the same space as an object's description, so
simply sending a picture instead of a descripton takes no more work for the
MOO.  The 3d net client I hope to have finished soon will use quick codes
like RIP, and will download bitmap images from servers more capable of
handling big things like that...  a web server.
