That sounds like something a lot insidious.  It could be the players
abusing ASCII pfiles with ~'s in their names then making up their own
data.  There are not many things that could do that unless you have
been playing around with the descriptors and how they are connected at
login.  That's one of the reasons I have my own log file.  I would much
rather use a CVS system, but I have no idea how to set one up on my
box.  If anyone can email me privately on how to do this, I would be
most appreciative.  My text editor of choice in the GUI part of my OS
can handle CVS no problem, which makes editting a lot easier.
