Besides, are you REALLY worried about that extra 4 bytes * 10000 > pc's and mobs? Graham is exactly correct in saying this. Memory is cheap; CPU time is expensive (think about how much it costs you to double your memory relative to the cost of doubling the real speed, not the clock speed, of your computer.) Do whatever you can to decrease the complexity of your logic, and trim the fat off your memory usage where it is practical to do so without impacting on your performance. The bitvector is such a widely used data structure in circlemud; image the impact it would have on your mud if you made every bitvector operation twice as slow! Naved
