G'day Jimmy, Go ahead with your changes. But to make it easier to merge them, please learn a bit of minimal darcs. Or if not, I can send you a tarball of my repository. There have been many changes since 2.10.2. Quick darcs intro ... 1. install darcs (there are binaries for most everything), 2. darcs get http://james.tooraweenah.com/darcs/netrek-server/ 3. make your changes, one set at a time, (e.g. one feature), 4. darcs record 5. darcs send 6. goto 3 -- James Cameron mailto:quozl at us.netrek.org http://quozl.netrek.org/
