What I usually do is change the Makefile to output to a file other than ../bin/circle, say, ../bin/circle.new, then in my autorun just before it loads up Circle, I have it check for the existance of circle.new, and if it's there, move it to circle...this way all I have to do is just compile the MUD and do a shutdown reboot and it'll come back up with the new version. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chris A.
