I think obuild defaults to a max of 500 new rooms (and consering typical uptimes during heavy building, that's more than enough ;) ) and can be set higher if necessary. The renumbering Oasis does shouldn't give obuild a hard time, though the way obuild puts new prototypes at the end of the listit might throw Oasis out of whack. As for permissions, I'd imagine that when Oasis rewrites zone files you'd probably lose obuild permissions. I don't know how Oasis keeps track of permissions but I'd imagine obuild would probably overwrite those.

I've been thinking about adding a menu interface to obuild to make it easier to learn. Sam
