Not with stock code, no. See
http://post.queensu.ca/cgi-bin/listserv/wa?A2=ind0008&L=circle&P=R9243
for a description of how to get around a similar problem.

Again, not exactly - there's no function/etc that does that. You
can set a static timer though, and decrement it by the mobile activity
pulse that spec_procs trigger. Beware though, that same timer will be
used by all mobs using that particular spec_proc.

I don't think there is, but what sort of documentation do you
need? It's straight C code, and you can grep for all the information you
could ever want - the definition, when they're called, how they're
assigned, etc.
If you want something that's a bit higher level and has additional
functionality built in, you may want to look at dgscripts or mob progs. I
believe dgscripts are the big thing right now though.
