  Nothing like a bit of relief from the everyday chores. :o)

  I usually use ofstream fout(filename); fout << "string" << endl;
  So since I was already using fprintf everywhere else and since I
  suspect that the majority of people out there hasn't converted their
  circlemud to c++ I just continued with that, but you're right that
  fputs is faster in this circumstance.

  Yep, in normal circle, some joker changed the entire way zones work
  in the mud I'm currently trying to rescue (and in which I added
  code), forgot to change this back to fit standard circlemud, my bad
  - sorry for the confusion.

  Apart from the fact that if your world has enough rooms dot might
  want to output a graphics that is larger than it can handle, but
  apart from that it should be doable. :)

  Once I'm done adding some further functionality - some options you
  can set in the variables and stuff I will probably remail and upload
  it to the ftp, but until then feel free to suggest improvements.
  I know a proper mapper that puts exits north on the upperside of the
  node would be a plus :)  unfortunately dot doesn't handle this very
  well.  If I get a break from my school projects I'll write a
  quick'n'dirty graphics library that can do this. :o)  Apart from
  that, other suggestions are welcome.
