	I wasn't going to remove the funcionality of the in_list, and do_shiplist
functions, I was just going to clean them up abit.  The idea itself is
sound, and works pretty well, it just needs some tweaking.

	Dont get me wrong Garrett, I am not bashing you, I think you have done
a fine job getting GB to the point where it is, but there are some things
that have been wrong for along time, that have not been fixed.  The database
itself, right now gets corrupted quite frequently, and makes playing the
game quite painfull, and frustrating for everyone.

	To be honest, I was kinda upset when I saw how the code was made
"ANSI"-"POSIX" compliant, when it had all these structural problems.
It is just kinda allowing the program to crash on other machines. *wink*

	Overall, GB is in pretty good shape, but there are lots of little
bugs here and there, and lots of work to be done in the DB.  I am right
now playing around with new DB designs, and have a new ship database in
play right now.  I am very  pleased with the results, and am currently
looking into the star and planet databases.

	If you want to see how its coded Garrett, drop me a line.

Space is big.  You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly
big it is.   I mean, you  may think it's a long  way down the road to the 
drug store, but that's just peanuts to space.
