But debugging code requires the exact same skills as finding out how code
works in the first place. Ok, so you're using those skills to find out
why it's *NOT* working, but it's still the same skill. <G>
1. *READ* any and all error messages. They almost ALWAYS give you
a place to start (error in spells.c:1503 tells me to check line
1503 in src/spells.c for some kind of glaring error, for ex.).
2. If the fix isn't obvious (missing quote/parenthesis/bracket, &c.)
try and find the last thing that DOES work, and see whats next
and why it may not be working.
3. Repeat step 2 as needed. <G>

my mud has no problems that are not implementer induced at this time]
