| | That means that one of your files (area, pfiles, etc.) has a word in it that's too long. Can't really help you fix it unless you know where the long word is. When does the bug appear? |

| An email address probably wouldn't, no.
Check your log files; where does that line appear? What's the context? |

| What does fread word mean anyway,
oh and would it be the fact that theres no spaces between the bracketS?
Or would the problem be located near the Fread_word program? | | Top |

It reads characters from the specified file until hitting a word delimiter e.g. whitespace.

What brackets???

I'm assuming you mean fread_word function... and no... this is not a problem with the code, it's a problem with your input data like I told you.

Are you looking in the code?? The problem is not in the code but in areas, pfiles, or some other input file. Note: a code file is not an input file.
If you want useful help, then you need to answer the questions you're asked... so, please look at your log files, and tell me what the context of the log message is.
By the way, a "long word" is not 14 letters... but more like a few hundred at least. |

| An example of the changelog file is below:
imc2-1.00b 01/29/99
* keepalive problem resolved. imc-list maintained by close-notify packets,
request-keepalive packets and boot-only keepalives.
* autohub load balancing - temporary connections to less busy hubs.
* hubs don't ping the world, just their direct connections.
* muds dont transmit to every hub they are connected to. Just the least busy
one.

* InfoDetail can be entered mutliple times for multiple lines.
imc2-0.10 12/11/97

* huge numbers of ICE fixes and enhancements
* rchat no longer in the channel table by default
* levels in packets, wizi/see/invis greatly simplified (to a simple
imm/mortal distinction).
* last connected field added - mainly for hubs - to imc_info / imclist
* IMC_NOTIFY turned back on, to point at toof.net
-- 0.9a-ice2 released --

a destroy

| I don't care about the changelog, I'm asking you for your run logs... don't you have a subdirectory called 'log' or something like that?
What system are you running on? |
