When coding in general, and especially with a mud that you are pretty much in charge of maintaining, always err on the side of safety. Better to add those in and make it fully compatible than suffer the consequences later. Incidentally, it will run fine until it tries to access a value greater than the structure. Then you will get some arbitrary result that could have a good chance of crashing the code. -james- On Wed, 10 Jul 1996, Bill Romano wrote: > > First of all, thanks to all who have helped me so far with the newbie ?'s > i have posted *8). > > Second .. here is another one... > > I am adding classes to bpl 11, and am following class.doc. now we have > races properly imped and 200 levels so it is a bit diff...my question is > this.
