Re: eq slots

Or you could just rewrite show_char_to_char_0 (or 1 i forget) to show it 
the way you want it to ;)
theres a snip on mudmagic.com (while the colors are ugly as sin) can be 
modifyed to create your
own version. Also a nice way to add some realism to your mud, for 
example in mine i have stuff
like eye color, hair color, weight, height, skin tone, etc and the 
players get a static description
describing them. I do this because in muds i play, i stick entire song 
lyrics and ascii pictures
into my descriptions making them about 5-6 pages long ;)
