[DGD]Melville Mudlib

[Jman77777 at aol.com]

Recently, I have been getting involved with LPMuds in general, and especially 
DGD which I like the most.  I have experimented with various mudlib's, 
deciding that I like Melville the best due to its simplicity and availability 
to use commercially with approval.  I tried to email the author (MobyDick), 
but his email address is no longer valid.  Does anyone have his current email 
address?  In the meantime, I was hoping that some of you might have 
experience with Melville and could help me figure out a few things.

Bug 1:  As soon as I started up the mud, I immediately began redoing the 
short and long description of the starting room.  I changed these in the code 
using change mode of the editor, pressed the 'x' character to save and exit 
the editor, then updated /world/start.   When I looked, expecting to see my 
new long description, nothing had changed.  Is this a bug or or am I simply 
not doing it right?

Bug 2:  When my long description took out more than one line, I received 
errors saying that there was no closing quote.  For instance, if I opened my 
quotes on the first-line and ended my quotes on the last line, it would 
report that the first-line had no closing quotes and would not compile.  
Again, am I doing something wrong?

Bug 3:  The last bug that I have encountered is my inability to define more 
than one administrator in /include/admin.h.  If I define more than one, it 
says that I have redefined, which is totally understandable.  Anyway, how do 
I go about defining more than one administrator?
