The majority of the changes will be no-brainers. Only a few places have any sort of reworking that will take thinking to confirm. >Most of the changes prior to bpl18 were easily added into just about any >modified bpl, now with some of the recent changes it extremely difficult >to even think about updating.

We'll probably leave the global buffer definitions in db.h but be disabled/enabled (undecided) by default. Anyone who wants to keep them can do so. send_to_char() and SEND_TO_Q will be more of a problem to change but most of those can be taken care of by an automatic search & replace. We certainly want to release CircleMUD 3.1, but we don't want to release junk just to get it over with. -- George Greer greerga@circlemud.org -- +---------------------------------------------------------------+ | FAQ: http://qsilver.queensu.ca/~fletchra/Circle/list-faq.html | | Archives: http://post.queensu.ca/listserv/wwwarch/circle.html | +---------------------------------------------------------------+
