- I wasn't going to remove the funcionality of the in_list, and do_shiplist
- functions, I was just going to clean them up abit. The idea itself is
- sound, and works pretty well, it just needs some tweaking.
-
- Dont get me wrong Garrett, I am not bashing you, I think you have done
- a fine job getting GB to the point where it is, but there are some things
- that have been wrong for along time, that have not been fixed. The database
- itself, right now gets corrupted quite frequently, and makes playing the
- game quite painfull, and frustrating for everyone.
-
- To be honest, I was kinda upset when I saw how the code was made
- "ANSI"-"POSIX" compliant, when it had all these structural problems.
- It is just kinda allowing the program to crash on other machines. *wink*
-
- Overall, GB is in pretty good shape, but there are lots of little
- bugs here and there, and lots of work to be done in the DB. I am right
- now playing around with new DB designs, and have a new ship database in
- play right now. I am very pleased with the results, and am currently
- looking into the star and planet databases.
-
- If you want to see how its coded Garrett, drop me a line.

- Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly
- big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the
- drug store, but that's just peanuts to space.
