Here it is. Sorry it took so long, I missed your first post, and this was

Subject: Abbreviations for objects, mobs and players.
If anyone is interested here is a piece of code that will allow
everything to be abbreviated. Instead of typing 'kill
mobwithaverylongandcomplicatedname' you could type 'kill mob'.
It is VERY appreciated by players.
In 'handler.c', change isname() to this:
#define WHITESPACE " \t"
int isname(char *str, char *namelist)
{
char *newlist;
char *curtok;
newlist = strdup(namelist); /* make a copy since strtok 'modifies'
strings */
for(curtok = strtok(newlist, WHITESPACE); curtok; curtok = strtok(NULL,
WHITESPACE))
if(curtok && is_abbrev(str, curtok))
{
free(newlist);
return 1;
}
free(newlist);
return 0;
}
This will check for an abbreviation on every word in the namelist.
