This is 1.8.2p1-1.8.3p0 patch. After applying this patch to PennMUSH 1.8.2p1, you will have version 1.8.3p0. But if you don't have any good reason not to, it's better to start with a fresh 1.8.3p0 tarball. To apply this patch, save it to a file in your top-level MUSH directory, and do the following: patch -p1 < 1.8.2p1-1.8.3p0.patch ./Configure make clean make install If you use GNU patch 2.2, you probably want the above to be 'patch -b -p1', not just 'patch -p1'. Unix (or cygwin) users need not worry about failed hunks in src/switchinc.c, hdrs/switches.h, hdrs/cmds.h, or hdrs/funs.h. These files are automatically rebuilt on compile. On the off chance they appear not to be, simply rm them and re-run make. Then @shutdown and restart your MUSH. - Ervin/Noltar In this patch: Major changes: * Rewrite of color handling. [GM] Minor changes: * Cleaned up the internals of @wipe. [SW] * strmatch() now takes a third argument, to store wildcard captures. [GM] * Termination of OS/2 support.
