If you un-install obuild first you can do it..

Considering Oasis renumbers the entire structure of mobs, objs, and rooms
after a save and obuild doesn't, limiting it to 100 rooms I think it was,
it might be fun.  They both also use different memory variables, not to
mention that they use different permission methods.  I had it for awhile
with both of them installed.  No fun at all really, but if you get them
happy together, it'll be some work.

Don't want to experience it, trust me :)

As for which is better, I like the fact that with obuild you can flag
an entire range of rooms with a flag (using tintin's loop).  It's a lot
tougher to flag then with Oasis that way.  But Oasis is easier to use and
I admit the places where you loop stuff is somewhat sparse (except for
making, oh say, 50 rooms dark).  If I could get Obuild's RSET to work
with Oasis and without so many conflicts I'd do it in a heartbeat. I also
wish that Oasis used the CC system, can't wait for one of my builders to
not have ANSI color *grin*
