Do you have a $ObvExits program installed on your MUCK? If you
don't, I can see this @succ message causing a problem. ZoLook tries
to match it to an executable MUF, doesn't find one, so it produces
the error message instead.

The properties we are interested in can be found in the "_"
directory. Thus:

ex here=_/**

You should find one "/_/sc:@$ObvExits" that is causing the trouble.

That's. . . odd. Maybe it's using the internal LOOK command when you
enter a room. Probably you don't have your global LOOK action named
with all the possible abbreviations, including the one the MUCK uses
to trigger a LOOK when somebody enters a room. The name of the
action in room #0 should be "look;loo;lo;l;lookat".

It would appear that ProtoMUCK's in-built LOOK command simply ignores
MUF calls it can't match, rather than producing an error message.
