This capability is not part of vanilla CircleMUD, but you could look
at the "percent" snippets and patches on the FTP site. This one
looks to be the most recent, though still several years out of date:
http://www.circlemud.org/pub/CircleMUD/contrib/code/zones/percent.txt
It will most likely require a little modification for most recent
releases, but it's a small patch so probably not hard to fix.

I don't use Windows or Delphi, but for Linux there are several
useful tools (same with most *NIX platforms): gdb (The GNU
Debugger), strace (trace system calls and signals) and
electric-fence (a malloc debugger). Read through the man pages and
online manuals for these to decide if they will help you. Also, if
you haven't already, check out the "Information for Coders" section
of The CircleMUD Documentation Project:
http://www.circlemud.org/cdp/#COD
It's got some good pointers for new developers, CircleMUD or not.
