This is patch38 to PennMUSH 1.7.7. After applying this patch, you will
have version 1.7.7p38

To apply this patch, save it to a file in your top-level MUSH directory,
and do the following:
	patch -p1 < 1.7.7-patch38
	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.
    - Alan/Javelin
