Hey...I wrote some apply code, where if someone types apply object1 object2
it will create a new object.  The file format is compatible with the old
circle, it just adds in a new block, like how extra descriptiosn work.  I
also wrote the OLC code to support it.  Anyways, it basically takes the two
objects, may destroy them depending on a bitvector, and creates a new
object.  So if you wanted to use this for item attachments, you would
actually have to create the third object in advance or write special code
for certain cases.  The code is also neat, because then you can set up
things like apply flour water, and get dough, etc...so people could become a
baker, blacksmith, or whatever.  Anways, email me if you want the code.
