I'd like to know what assert > does but you don't have to answer that. Tests if an assertion is false, and if so, aborts. Similar to: if (sizeof(header_block_type) != BLOCK_SIZE) { fprintf(stdout, "ASSERTION FAILED: mail.c line 208\n"); abort(); } I dunno the reasoning for the assert() in the stock code. -- Daniel Koepke dkoepke@california.com Forgive me father, for I am sin. +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | Ensure that you have read the CircleMUD Mailing List FAQ: | | http://cspo.queensu.ca/~fletcher/Circle/list_faq.html | +-----------------------------------------------------------+
