The '''TMI Mudlib''' from [[The Mud Institute]]<ref name="Takacs">{{cite journal|last=Takacs|first=Mark|date=August 17, 1993|title=Prolix A Text-based Participant System for VR|location=Washington|page=13|quote=2.3.7 MIRE Kay has taken a TMI LPMud driver (a popular alternative driver developed by The Mud Institute) and used it as the basis for a multi-user news and information retrieval system |citeseerx = 10.1.1.53.5993}}</ref> was an attempt to create a framework driven [[mudlib]] for the [[MudOS]] LPMud driver. It consisted of many contributors to MudOS as well as people who became influential in the LPMud community. When TMI began work in 1992, a mudlib was generally packaged with both an LPMud driver and a complete world built on top of the mudlib. As a framework-driven mudlib, the goal of the TMI mudlib was to provide only examples for world objects and place the burden of building a working world on the game developers using TMI.

TMI implemented the first [[InterMUD]] communications network, when [[MudOS]] added network socket support in 1992.<ref name="dog"/>

In 1992, MIRE, a multi-user information system producing customised newspapers<ref>Electronic Publishing Group at the MIT Media Lab. [http://web.media.mit.edu/~walter/ep.html 25+ Years of the Electronic Publishing Group] "MIRE--news in a MUD"</ref> was built based on a modified TMI driver.<ref name="Takacs"/>

In 1993, the TMI-2 mudlib was used to create ''PangaeaMud'', an academic research project designed as an interactive geologic database tool.<ref>{{cite thesis
