The char_data structure is that same as it always was.
many things added, but nothing removed, all I did
was make load_char (i have ASCII pfiles) accept
a char_data structure instead of a char_file_u structure.
anyway, memory correct means, (my definition)
Any memory you CREATE() you also remember to FREE().
I was thinking of changing load_char to return a pointer to
a char_data structre like so.
struct char_data *load_char(char *name);
would that solve the memory allocation error? or would it
just not help at all?
Thanks for the insight.
