I've completed the new building.doc, the documentation for writing worlds for CircleMUD 3.0. Included is complete documentation of all flags, a description of how to use the ASCII flag system, spell numbers, and everything else that should be required to create a complete CircleMUD world. This document is at both FTP sites (ftp.cs.jhu.edu and cambot.res.jhu.edu), in the directory /pub/CircleMUD/docs. (This is a new directory.) I'm releasing this document before the rest of patchlevel 8 in the hope that if there's a mistake in the document somewhere, someone will point it out to me in time to prevent pl8 from shipping with erroneous documentation. :) Note that some features discussed in building.doc don't work as of pl7 but will work in pl8. Check it out and let me know what you think. Oh, and to everyone who has ever asked what all the letters in the world files mean: THIS IS YOUR ANSWER! Please download this document and read it carefully. :) Jeremy
