then:

and it should work.


I'm a bit confused.  I corrected the first part, but is the second
supposed to go in textdump or be typed in by me on coldmud?
I tried typing it in, and got an error.

Well, anyone who wants to contribute to a single 'definative more then the
basics core' please let me know.  Bare core is good, but like Lambdacore,
most systems want at least the basics built already.

You talking about coldmud.info or the postscript stuff?  I haven't looked
at the ps stuff yet.
