How much different or heavily modified is Dead Souls than stock LPC?
This is a difficult question to answer on its own terms. It’s roughly equivalent to: Is Fedora different from stock UNIX, or will my Solaris programs work on it? This DVD movie is in NTSC format, so my TV can handle it, right? The terms used roughly correspond to the same general thing, but the assumption here is that there is a “stock” LPC, and you can transplant code from one LP mud to another. Sometimes these transplants can be done. Oftentimes not. This is because LPC has been interpreted and implemented in many slightly different ways by many slightly different versions of many different drivers. The end product of the DVD is a movie playing on your TV, but how it gets there is very different from how a videocassette does it, even if it’s the same movie and its signal is encoded in NTSC in both cases. If you have two LPmuds that use different drivers, it can be much like the difference between a DVD and a videotape. Sometimes, if the drivers are related, the difference is smaller,
