Message   Ben Ritchey    Mark Lewis   Re: Rules processing   April 2, 2017
 2:33 AM *  

* An ongoing debate between mark lewis and Ben Ritchey rages on ...

 ml { PASCAL_LESSONS will break it... in fact, any echo with more than eight
 ml { characters in the tag will break... it will be worse if there are two

It knows how to handle long names, only using the 1st 8 characters. Dupes are a
 
problem, but I'm looking into that & will keep you posted.

 ml { implementation, too... the name that the ruletext is stored in should
 ml { be taken from the RULE line in the MOD UPD instead of the other way
 ml { around... that way an eight character filename can be given to the RUL
 ml { file by the moderator...

Not gonna happen {chuckle} too problematic :)

 ml { but i might have missed something, again...

The software was tested with various TAG names (some long, some short) and it 
worked fine in all cases. The dupe problem can be fixed using LFNs, I just need
 
to upgrade the parser. :)
