#include "oasis.h"

extern struct zone_data *zone_table;
extern zone_rnum top_of_zone_table;

All you really need are the above three lines. Also, you must check if the descriptor has an olc structure before checking on the OLC_ZNUM() - otherwise you'll almost certainly end up with a crash.

You might want to make a macro for quick access to the lifespan:

#define ZONE_LIFE(loc)  (zone_table[(loc)].lifespan)

- add this in utils.h (near ZONE_FLAGS).

NOTE - the above is mailercode - back up your code first.
