 - P.S. - Now...if someone could just get around to modifying the build
 - command to handle something like 'build 200 p 0,0' !!

You mean,

repeat 200 build p 0,0

?

THere's no need to add something to the server that the client already
does. Sure, if you telnet in you can't do that, but almost everyone
there is uses gbII or Feep's IBMish client. (It is Feep, isn't it?)

THere's a limit to how much stuff should be moved from the client to
the server. Gotta keep the server size down and all... Like, there's
no reason to move opttech from the client to the server. It'd just
use up memory, and slow things down for everyone when one player
ran it.

The only thing I"d like to see moved to the server from gbII is the
formatting of maps. Maybe not even highlighting, but just the
ability to format maps correctly. THis would make GB playable
via telnet, or at least far more than it is now.
