Solves the problem, but what you might want to consider is the
following idea that I used to fix it up so it would work altogether
Basically set everything to use page_string(). Don't know
off hand if this is in the snippet or not - didn't use the thing. Then,
since we're already writing out to a buffer before we send it, we can
realize when adding the next item/mob/room to the list will be larger than
the buffer. So, inside the loop which scans through your mob/obj/room
list, just check for something like if (strlen(buf-you're-using-to-save) +
strlen(buf-you're-going-to-add) > MAX_SIZE_OF_THE_BUF-YOU'RE_USING_TO_SAVE)
and if so, then page_string() it out then. The only problem I have with
it is that after like say, 27 pages, it resets to page 1. But i'm sure
you could just alter page_string to accept and return page numbers of the
start and finish respectively, if you want it cosmetically perfect.
Hmm. George - does your buffer system fix this? Haven't had time
to think lately, much less code and test.
