I just deleted the #99999\n$~ at the end of 30.wld and tried to boot, and this is what happened: CAMB:/home/jelson/circle(102) bin/circle Wed Mar 8 20:27:47 :: Running game on port 4000. Wed Mar 8 20:27:47 :: Using lib as data directory. Wed Mar 8 20:27:47 :: Opening mother connection. Wed Mar 8 20:27:47 :: Setting player limit to 248. Wed Mar 8 20:27:47 :: Boot db -- BEGIN.

Format error after world #3066 CAMB:/home/jelson/circle(103) bin/circle It does not give the D/E/S error message. Besides, #99999 isn't necessary with 3.0 any more. You just need a '$' to indicate the end of the file. --JE
