[DGD] Kfun packages

[Gregory D Lewis]

Hi all,

Two updated and one new kfun package have just uploaded and can be gotten from
http://www.enol.com/~asmith/drf/

These have all been tested on DGD 1.1 through 1.1p4, but not with 1.1.25.
>From what I am told they won't work as is with 1.1.25 but may do so after
some alterations.  I'll look into this myself when I have time.

Short descriptions:

mdbm package -- Implements an interface to gdbm and ndbm databases.  The update
  was minor and was mostly a minor code clean up.  You really want to use
  gdbm if you can :).

regex package -- Implements some regular expression kfuns.  This is _not_ the
  rgx package you will find at most DGD distribution sites and is in no way
  related to it.  The update involved no alteration in functionality but
  a big speed up for the code under situations where you want to match a
  small set of patterns repetitively against many strings.

object_info package -- This is a new one.  3 kfuns are implemented.  They
  provide information on the programs inherited by an object, the functions
  defined in an object, the variables defined in an object.  If you are
  familiar with MudOS think inherit_list, functions, variables and you will
  be fairly close.

In each case, check out the README files and kfun manual pages that come with
them for more information.  Or contact me if they seem unclear.

Constructive criticism and comments are more than welcome :).

					regards, Greg
