        sprintf(buf, "Type arena to enter.");
        send_to_arena(buf);
  } else {

              cost_per_lev);
      send_to_arena(buf);
      sprintf(buf, "Type arena to enter.");
      send_to_arena(buf);
  }
  time_to_start--;
  }
}

this function does not print out any text.. I have twisted and turned the
code, but I just can't get it to print out anything, i am using bpl21.. and
it is arena.patch that this piece of code comes from if you need to know.
arena.c . the same thing goes for do_awho
i have included the neccessary header files.. i think
could it be because it's a void function? i'm a newbie with programming so i
wouldn't know.

#include "conf.h"
#include "sysdep.h"

#include "structs.h"
#include "utils.h"
#include "comm.h"
#include "screen.h"
#include "spells.h"
#include "handler.h"
#include "interpreter.h"
#include "db.h"
#include "arena.h"

please help me with this one. i don't know if this question has been
answered before.. but help
