The loader simply increments the zone real number until it finds the next zone whose upperbound is greater than the current virtual number (or reports an error if the virtual number was above all zones). The lowerbound is never checked after that increment, so the room we're loading may well fall below the lowerbound *and* upperbound without ever being detected. There may be other cases where zoneless rooms sneak through; I haven't really given it much thought. The good news is that these quirks are usually avoided by good habits. (Not to mention that it won't be an issue at all in 3.2.) -dak -- +---------------------------------------------------------------+ | FAQ: http://qsilver.queensu.ca/~fletchra/Circle/list-faq.html | | Archives: http://post.queensu.ca/listserv/wwwarch/circle.html | | Newbie List: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/circle-newbies/ | +---------------------------------------------------------------+
