--------------------------------------------------------------------


Major Changes:
  * Errors in matching switches to commands are ignored when the
    command is hook/ignored or hook/overriden, so you can override
    a built-in command and provide your own switches. Suggested by
    Trinsec at M*U*S*H.
Mail:
  * @mailfilter attribute causes incoming mail to be be automatically
    filed to a folder if it evaluates to a folder name/number.
    Patch by Sketch at M*U*S*H.
Commands:
  * @prompt/@nsprompt work like @pemit/list, but add a telnet GOAHEAD
    at the end of the message when emitting to players; players whose
    clients handle GOAHEAD (e.g. tf) will get the message displayed
    as a prompt in the input window. Suggested by Trinsec at M*U*S*H.
  * The PROMPT_NEWLINES socket command can be used to add a newline
    after the GOAHEAD in a prompt, for clients that mix up prompt
    lines with other output.
Functions:
  * namegrab() and namegraball(). Patch by Walker at M*U*S*H.
  * prompt() and nsprompt() (the function equivalents of @prompt/@nsprompt).
  * textentries(). Suggested by Trinsec at M*U*S*H.
  * cdesc(), cusers(), cmsgs(), cbuffer(), cstatus(), clflags() 
    functions. Suggested by d'Ark at M*U*S*H.
  * numversion() returns Penn version as an integer (1008001004) 
    for softcode use.
Minor changes:
  * @chan/list works better for people who increase CHAN_NAME_LEN.
    Suggested by Trinsec at M*U*S*H.
  * Help fixes by Trinsec at M*U*S*H, Chili at M*U*S*H.
  * Several powers (tport_anything, tport_anywhere, no_money, no_quota,
    debit, sql_ok) are now aliased to TinyMUSH/TinyMUX equivalents
    as well, for better code portability. [3,MUX]
Fixes:
  * center() behaves better when given a fourth argument but
    not a third one. Also fixes to cases where the right fill
    string is one longer than the left. Report by Ian at M*U*S*H
  * Fixes from 1.8.0p9.
