Subject: List off all immortals in playerfile

For want of something better to do I'll post this little snippet and hope
it'll help a fellow newbie out there :) The following code, when added to
do_show in act.wizard.c, will allow you to search through your player file
and lists everyone >= LVL_IMMORT.  For anyone who wants a "real" check of
whos-who from your playerfile, this is it.

In act.wizard.c:
-in do_show add the following variables:

  FILE *fl;
  struct char_file_u player;

-insert into show_struct:

   { "immortals",      LVL_IMPL},

-insert <changing the case statement from case 15: to be the appropriate
 number in your code> into the big case statement at the end of do_show:

  case 15:
    if (!(fl = fopen(PLAYER_FILE, "r+"))) {
      send_to_char("Can't open player file.", ch);
      return;
    }
    sprintf(buf, "Player Name          Player Level\r\n");
    while (!done) {
      fread(&player, sizeof(struct char_file_u), 1, fl);
      if (feof(fl)) {
        fclose(fl);
        done=TRUE;
      }
      if (!done)
        if (player.level>=LVL_IMMORT)
          sprintf(buf, "%s%-20s %-2i\r\n", buf, player.name, player.level);
    }
    send_to_char(buf, ch);
    break;

And that's it! The outline for this code has shamelessly been twisted out
of the playerfile update utilities packaged with the stock code.
