The benefits of ascii pfiles are hardly offset by the slight chance that
someone
can gain access to your account and upload/modify their pfile... If
this
occurs you have way bigger problems than someone giving themselves 1
billion
coins. Besides, if they hack your account, they are going to have all
the
tools they need to edit a binary file anyway (they are gonna have your
mud source
too you know... :)
