Hello, can someone tell me what is wrong with this?  I'm using the hackserv
as a basis for a mud.  I've tried to change it to accomodate telnet, gmud,
zmud, etc..(basically any client) where it only supported telnet in the
beginning. I KNOW this is too much code..but i've just been adding stuff in
trying to make it work and nothing seems to work. I KNOW that I'm
overlooking something really easy..but I can't figure it out.  Can someone
tell me  if you know what is wrong with this?

 elsif action = FD_READ then   -- The client said somethin'
    junk = ""
    owork = ""
    while not match({CRLF},junk) do
      owork = WsockReadData(sock,1)
      if atom(owork) then
        exit
      end if
      if length(owork)<1 then
  exit
      end if
      if atom(owork) then
        exit
      end if
      if length(owork)<1 then
  exit
      end if
      junk = junk & owork

end while
    -- junk now contains the client's responce

    -- find this user in our list
    iwork = getUserFromSocket(sock)



 if length(players)>0 then
   for x=1 to length(players) do
 if players[x][1]=sock then
  charnum=x
 end if
   end for
  end if

players[charnum][6]=players[charnum][6]&junk

    if compare({10},players[charnum][6][(length(players[charnum][6]))]) or
compare({13},players[charnum][6][length(players[charnum][6])]) then

if compare({10},players[charnum][6][length(players[charnum][6])]) then

players[charnum][6]=players[charnum][6][1..(length(players[charnum][6])-1)]
end if

if compare({13},players[charnum][6][length(players[charnum][6])]) then

players[charnum][6]=players[charnum][6][1..(length(players[charnum][6])-1)]
end if

if compare({10},players[charnum][6][length(players[charnum][6])]) then

players[charnum][6]=players[charnum][6][1..(length(players[charnum][6])-1)]
end if
junk=players[charnum][6]

warnErr("junk:"&sprint(junk))

players[charnum][6]=""
call_proc(players[charnum][7],{sock,junk})
junk=""
end if


Thank you in advance,

Michelle
