Darkangel, if you didnt know, you don't have to edit files, rm *.o, then
recompile the entire mud. The makefile is written so that you leave all
the .o files as is and it will update the appropriate files and make a new
binary file. I used to do as you are saying which of course took me forever,
caused lag on my system, and subsequently pissed off others on my server...
Just edit your files and make....
