Non-specproc ATM Code w/Improvement [by Melissa Jadwinski]
Snippet Posted Wednesday, August 4th @ 11:50:57 AM, by George Greer in the Objects dept.
Melissa Jadwinski writes, ' I was tired of repeated reboots whenever I wanted to create a new ATM in my mud. So, in true mud implementor tradition, I hacked up the existing ATM special and replaced it. This version allows players to deposit money into each other's accounts. Code + instructions available at link: '

Snippet to replace the bank special in CircleMUD.

    }

    }
    break;
  default:
    log("SYSERR: Unknown subcmd %d passed to do_gen_bank.", subcmd);
    break;
  }  
}


That's it!  You may now rip out the ASSIGNOBJ(XXXX, bank) statements
in spec_assign.c and change your existing ATMs to type ITEM_ATM.
