I've thought about this before too, and even started on it a little.
All these reply's don't take into account that you can't set
everything..., and an offline editor would be able to compact the file
too. I think it would be nice to be able to have it print a player
list with name, level, any other info you want..., or export to text
file. Modify the occasional record.

This is a great idea, BUT, you would have to change the pfile while
the mud is shutdown, wouldn't you? it could get nasty if you are
changing things on the players that are presently playing. if you
moved over to a schema where the each play has their own file, kinda
list the .obj files, you could lock the record open with a flag in the
file as soon as you open it with the editor. still would run into a
race condition, but less to worry about...
Good Luck!
