I am thinking of a similar system for my clans, but more along the theoretical lines of allowing multiple people to modify the same file regardless of their login times. (Clan bank accounts, Clan member listings, clan dues, etc) The easiest way I could figure out to do this was a sep file, that all of them access. Now I havent finished it yet, but I am going to use an ascii format (a bit tricker to code, but easier to troubleshoot). I would suggest one file for everyone, and just have different entries (keyed by their last name maybe?) or do a search on 2 idnum fields maybe.. > withdraws, money is taken from the offline wife's.

Maybe it will get you thinking in a different direction :) Ghost Shaidan +------------------------------------------------------------+ | Ensure that you have read the CircleMUD Mailing List FAQ: | | http://democracy.queensu.ca/~fletcher/Circle/list-faq.html | +------------------------------------------------------------+
