So we move on, what is the function that does this in vc++? stricmp! #define strcasecmp stricmp > oedit.c > c:\mud\src\objsave.c(281) : warning C4700: local variable 'rent' used > without having been initialized Make sure all those you read about are being initialised properly, for instance to 0. I haven't as much as looked at Del's package was it? So you have to figure that one out for yourself. > zedit.c > c:\mud\src\zedit.c(1052) : warning C4129: '%' : unrecognized character > escape sequence Look and see whether you have a \% somewhere... might've meant \\% or something.

Well, since you are using Visual C++ and since it's quite expensive you might have considered actually looking at all that wonderful documentation it comes with. A simple search for either of the above mentioned functions turned up the information I just provided. Two things to always remember, reading the logic of the source code is your best bet and having good documentation is the key to your survival when you're stomped. (Whomever of you that insist that MSDN is a pile of..., just rest your case for now :P) Lastly, do take your time to figure out the differences from the debug allocation heap and the release allocation heap when working with vc++. If you understand it, it can be a great aid and help. If you don't it seems that vc++ is your enemy. :o) (Oh, guess where you can read about it? Your documentation!) Hope that helped a tad. -- Yours truly, Henrik Stuart (http://www.unprompted.com/hstuart/) -- +---------------------------------------------------------------+ | FAQ: http://qsilver.queensu.ca/~fletchra/Circle/list-faq.html | | Archives: http://post.queensu.ca/listserv/wwwarch/circle.html | | Newbie List: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/circle-newbies/ | +---------------------------------------------------------------+
