I installed that into stock pl11 to see if it was the kind of thing I wanted, before hand patching 1.5 into my MUD fer real. However I am finding that there is still one l'il problem in 1.5 under Windows 95. I'm compiling it using MSVC4, and it crashes the very first time you try to save a mob. (BUT - it does not do this while running it in debug in MSCV!!!!!!) After that it is fine... but it happens when it tries to free the mob-index or something, I cannae remember right now without the code infront of me, but I switched on the I_CRASH flag that effectively comments this bit out and now it's fine and dandy. >The only thing that i see wrong so far is >that it never renames newindex to index.

Yer, I get that problem, it doesnae delete the old index and rename newindex. Alls I did was to add this extra bit into the Autorun.Bat file that I'm using to boot the MUD. eg. if exists c:\circle30\lib\world\zon\newindex goto newzone :newzone del c:\circle30\lib\world\zon\index ren c:\circle30\lib\world\zon\newindex index Works a treat!
