You know, the ascii board patch needs a teeeeny bit of work. I
had to put a new copy of it in recently and boy was that annoying. Just
make sure - if you're testing, always erase all the messages before you
start the mud again. If you get reverse message order wrong, and then fix
it, and load up with the messages from befor,e half your board will be in
the wrong order, and you'll spend 2 days trying to figure out why your
'perfect' code doesn't work! ;)
As for xapobjs, you can grab it too, though I really did promise
alot of people I'd update it. I only prefer that it stay in a seperate
(though obviously related) patch. That way, all my buggy code doesn't
make someone else look bad !

Have to agree with that. It'd be _very_ nice if the terminal
feature determinition code was done. I know I'd much rather navigate a
menu with arrow keys - and it'd just be thrown into char mode for a short
period and back to line mode ...
Heck, a brave soul could even rewrite the edlin..er.. I mean,
improved editor to work like..well.. pine/pico.
That's not exactly in your scope of work though ;)
