Ack.. that sounds like a horrible idea.. imagine the compatibility nightmares between snippets, patches, and post-XXX versions that changing semantics of such a commonly-used function would cause and the pain that's bound to cause people who want to contribute and use contributions IMO, send_to_char should be renamed to something like char_send_f if the calling conventions or parameter list order are being changed -- that way incompatibility results in compilation errors rather than random crashes... such a change would really call for a change in major revision number as the change renders code made prior to it incompatible with versions after such a change And the snippets on the ftp site would need to be divided into "Snippets that require circle x+1.y.z+" and "Snippets that require "x.y.z.." -Mysid -- +---------------------------------------------------------------+ | FAQ: http://qsilver.queensu.ca/~fletchra/Circle/list-faq.html | | Archives: http://post.queensu.ca/listserv/wwwarch/circle.html | +---------------------------------------------------------------+
