First of all TOM, I'd say you haven't ported ROM to Windows 2000 PRO
like I have. Second I fix computers and such and configure hardware and
software to work under a windows environment. Third you don't know diddlely
about me so bugger off eh? You may have gone to school to learn code. Well
listen up, I don't have a rich mommy and daddy to put me through school I
barely get by with my pay-checks to feed my family and shelter them. SO
don't tell me what I know and don't know. I know I'm learning C programming
for ROM. I have gotten the FAQ's and some C Programming tutorials. I have
coded in LOPES 2.0, ENGOLC21, and extraexits to my mud which is quite an
accomplishment for a newbie coder I'd say. Not to mention I installed
airmail which I changed to punt. I write on this forum to find out about
things that are not clarified in the documentation I can aquire for free.
"FREE" being the keyword here. Since I don't really have the spare "change"
to just go out and buy me a coding book. (Its on my christmas list). I think
I am a rather technical person. I just thought it would be helpful to come
to this forum. Which is set up to help all coders with their mud problems.
Not flamage from the likes of you which I don't see you posting much of
anything to help people just to hinder.
MY ADVICE:
When you think you got something smart to say don't even try to tell it to
me. Cause you just labled yourself a "DORK" (Mud Flag) in my book.
P.S. you can crawl back out from the hole in the ground because I forgive
you. ;-)

Nothing else.
