Damage Message Code [by d. Hall]

Subject: Damage messages

Notes:
        CharType is a typedef struct char_data
        ObjType is a typedef struct obj_data
        cache_t is a typedef char cache_t[__CACHE_SIZE]
        istrlist is a personal lib function I wrote which has variable
                arguments and strcats all arguments to the first.

        I use {variable-type}Type since I can have Emacs font-lock
        highlight them.

        CGRN and CNRM, etc... are a personal color system.

        Adjust to taste, please let sit for 5 minutes to cool before
        serving.
