The #Save Function

Version 0.3.3 of DUMB MUD, currently set for release on 11/26/00, will contain a modified version of the current #Save function. If you use this functionality (and who doesn't?) please read the information below.

There is an implied contract between the DUMB developer and the #Save function. Put simply, #Save is only to be called on files created with #Save, and not on files created by hand. Obviously, this contract cannot currently be enforced. However, with the development of the file server (by version 0.5.0, see milestone map), this contract can and will be enforced. Even if violating it now does not cause incorrect behavior in your program, your program will NOT work with later versions of DUMB MUD.
