&gt; &gt; .cdc files together into textdump, run coldcc..get an error. "Text dump
&gt; &gt; ended inside method definition.!" go figure..so i try the copy again,
&gt; &gt; redownloaded the file, finally i tried just compiling the .cdc

&gt; &gt; something else in that makedb file/command that i missed? Any help would

&gt; Hmm, try 'copy /b source + source + source textdump'
&gt; 
&gt; Also, make sure you don't have an extra plus between source and textdump

Make absolutely _sure_ you copy the source files in the correct order. 
There should be an INDEX file which gives the correct order. 

However, this would not be the cause of your 'textdump ends in a method'
error.  That is likely something to do with DOS.

BTW, are you sure Minimal DB is what you want?  Its MINIMAL, no VR, no
login, _nothing_.  It just includes a skeleton system/perms/network set of
code.
