(BTW, the following isn't a flame either, if anything, it might be harsh criticism) I won't condemn someone for trying to learn C through mud coding. (hell, its what I did/am doing.) But it appears that you have no clue what you are doing, or even took the time to research an error. to put it frankly, if you are bringing a parse error to the list, then something is seriously wrong. IMHO, parse errors are most likely the easiest errors to fix (until you get into hidden characters :/ Heh, as an old C instructor said "You can come to me for help with any error, but if it's a missing () or ;, you are getting an F for the assignment) I mean, to be brutally honest, you seem to be a complete newbie that turns to the list for every error that they encounter (to be fair, I don't know if you do or not :) You should try to solve any errors on your own for at least 2-3 days, and then if you haven't figured it out, turn to the list. I know I'm a better programmer because of it. (if I had turned to the list at every error, then I'd never learn how to debug my own code or form good coding styles :) As for what the list was made for question, I think there are a lot of opinions on that one :) (for instance, to help _me_ when I need it ;) personally I see it as a place for a group of people who share a common hobby to share ideas, code, stories, and as a last resort, ask for help. Again, this isn't a flame of you in particular, it just has to do with my own patience levels :) +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | Ensure that you have read the CircleMUD Mailing List FAQ: | | http://cspo.queensu.ca/~fletcher/Circle/list_faq.html | | Or send 'info circle' to majordomo@cspo.queensu.ca | +-----------------------------------------------------------+
