So, if this is true it's not possible to implement a 'restring' command,
to change names of object and 'personalize' them, unless you add
a char *string field in obj_file_elem, isn't it ?
I'm saying this, because if i use the string command in Circle 2.2
to change an object name, it seems to screw up also every other object qith
the same vnum..
