That was it, I know I saw some of it before I became a coder on a live mud, but
I don't recall it as being a comprehensive guide to all the problems involved.
If I get around to really trying to make our OLC stable, I'll prolly just toss
out the arrays in favor of a linked list, and get rid of all the problems.

Ah, good. I was just poking around in our code a few weeks ago, and discovered
the old sequential search was still in there from a previous attempt to use
obuild. It was replaced by Oasis because it was crashing too much... nothing
much was gained by the switch, except the pretty, but slow, menus. I much
preferred the command based editor when I was a builder. Combined with a little
macro programming in tinyfugue, it was a very efficient way to build online.
Perhaps you might consider making Obuild co-exist better with Oasis. I recall
seeing a few people here do it manually. If the current project to fix Oasis
works out, then those who can't decide on a preferred interface, won't have
to... :-)
