In order to correct the multitude of emails around, here is a text file
with most of the fixes for mismatched errors in win95. Hope it helps

Its not really a problem.
Well, most of these have to do with rooms. The problem is that in many
places in the code, rooms are refered to as sh_int (short integers).While
many functions such as House_can_enter() expect a sh_int, and mscv5.0
seems to think that the GET_ROOM_VNUM returns only ints (even when
explicitly type cast as sh_int, even though the returned type is a sh_int
to begin with. Here is the list of files/line numbers that you'll want
to explictly define their return type (after the macro).
(list follows)
act.wizard.c(192):
int location, original_loc;
with
room_rnum location, original_loc;
act.wizard.c(2352):
char_to_room(vict, i);
to
char_to_room(vict, (room_rnum) i);
comm.c(405):
sa.sin_port = htons(port);
to
sa.sin_port = htons( (ush_int) port);
db.c(1604):
char_to_room(mob, ZCMD.arg3);
to
char_to_room(mob, (room_rnum) ZCMD.arg3);
db.c(1614):
obj_to_room(obj, ZCMD.arg3);
to
obj_to_room(obj, (room_rnum)ZCMD.arg3);
db.c(1628):
if (!(obj_to = get_obj_num(ZCMD.arg3))) {
to
if (!(obj_to = get_obj_num((obj_rnum) ZCMD.arg3))) {
house.c(442):
if ((i = find_house(atoi(arg))) < 0) {
to
if ((i = find_house((room_rnum) atoi(arg))) < 0) {
house.c(485):
else if ((i = find_house(atoi(arg))) < 0)
to
else if ((i = find_house((room_rnum)atoi(arg))) < 0)
shop.c(1185):
if ((k = get_char_num(SHOP_KEEPER(shop_nr)))) {
to
if ((k = get_char_num((mob_rnum)SHOP_KEEPER(shop_nr)))) {
spec_procs.c(614):
int pet_room;
to
room_rnum pet_room;
spells.c(119):
int to_room;
to
room_rnum to_room;
And thats about it.
