Ok , it now seems as if all the guild prog are setting the names wrong, the
warriors are coming up as thieves, witches as assassins, and clerics as
hunters, etc. Is it likely to be an order problem, within something like
parse_class or the class Abbrs, I have never had any trouble setting classes
before, so this one seems a little wierd.
A list of possibilities:
1) Spec progs run differently to ACMD's and GET_CLASS(ch) = may not work.
2) The parse class and abbr may be listed wrong.
3) Is there a way of forcably setting the abbr and class name from withing
the spec procs. As this seems to be the only problem with it.
Cheers
Alex
