We have been coding for a long time on bpl8, but after looking at the docs I see pl11 is a worthwhile upgrade. I have a question pertaining to the patch however.. These are the steps I took. Downloaded patch.pl8-pl11.gz from jhu gunzipped the file renamed my MUD directory to circle30bpl8 so that it understands it cp'd the file into circle30bpl8 ran patch <patch.pl8-pl11.gz After getting slightly far into it, it asks me for File to patch: Several times, I assumed its because it doesnt want to patch files i.e wizlist that we modified, but it continues to ask that for almost the entire session. I ignored everytime it says that, and when finished I end up with TONS of files in the muds master directory, code, worlds etc, and one of each with .orig and .rej. I tried also entering the patch file when asking file to patch, but "hunk fails". Our MUD runs on linux btw.. Thanks for any help in advance, also, I'm not sure if the patch should be run in that directory or not. Edge
