        Though I've never actually looked at it yet, I do know that some
people have gotten it to work.  I'll check it out.  If the file isn't
created though, the first thing I'd look at is permissions, and then check
for fopen or the like calls in the code.  Make sure that if you're
creating a new file in the web directory that the mud has sufficient
access to actually be able to do that (write to another users dir). Triple
check the easy stuff like permissions.
