Hello g00r00!

I've noticed an issue with the PimpWars 1.52 doorgame, both DOS and Linux
versions. After someone wins the game, users get a message that user such and
such has won the game and that the game will automatically re-roll in a few
days time.

The problem is, the specified day comes and the game does not automatically
re-roll; it continues to display the same message. The only way I've found to
get the game to reset is to delete pimpwars.cfg, pimpwars.ply, and
pimpwars.msg from the game directory.

Any ideas on what the issue could be?

The Linux version also has an issue with the opening ANSI screen looking like
it has extra line feeds in it, but that's fairly minor.

Andrew

I haven't touched that code in probably 20 years! I do still think I have a
backup of it in a couple of places so I can see about finding it to fix up any
issues one of these days.

Its probably just a bug that happened when I ported it from DOS back in the day
and I never noticed it.

BTW, the issue with the opening ANSI screen was cured when I opened it in
TheDraw and removed all of the characters from column 80.
