No, I was NOT being lazy, OK? I have already fixed the damn PFiles to work right, without the lists help, I have done it 4 or 5 times. But I was interested in the bug fixes other people had. Mmmmmmkay???? I "KNOW" for a fact that there are other bug fixes for it, and I have searched through the archives, and haven't found any for 2.0b. Sammy told me to check the archives for the fixes, so I did, and didn't find what I was looking for, I was ASKING FOR SOME HELP not a lecture from people. I CHECKED Alex's page, AND Ceramic Mouse, infact I go to that site EVERY DAY. Don't sit there and accuse me of being lazy, unlike you I have a life, I have things to do, MUDding is just a hobby of mine. Okay? Now if your not going to help me, then don't sit there and lecture me, I don't need it. I read many emails per day, and the last thing I need is an email from some 17 year old kid telling me that I am lazy. I don't sit on my computer 24/7. Thanks anyway. ----- Original Message ----- From: Invincibill <bill@longboys.net> To: <CIRCLE@post.queensu.ca> Sent: Thursday, January 21, 1999 5:39 PM Subject: Re: [CODE][ASCII PFILES] Bug Fixes - obcircle relative directions >how about going through the code for the pfiles and fix the bugs? this >accomplishes a number of things. >1) you learn how your code works. >2) you learn more about coding >3) you dont post messages to the list that have been answered already. > >if you dont have time to look through previous posts you dont have time >to run a mud. > >i would imagine that since its sammy's code, he would have the bug >fixes. >or may i suggest the alex's snippets page or the ceramic mouse? or any >number of other sites devoted to circle? or didnt you have time to check >them out either? i guess somebody else has time and should do it for >you? > >you werent looking for help. you were looking for somebody to do your >legwork for you.
