I'd like to give KUDOs to Gianluca of Italy. He's been working with me on "scriptizing" CoffeeMud to support other languages. That means you'll find several more entries in the EN_TX scripts area of the system.

This is a fun build I think -- been pretty busy the last few weeks.

1. AHELP command and MUDGrinder Archon Help topics now actually favors the archon help files.
2. New Scriptable trigger: LEVEL_PROG. Also, LOGIN_PROG triggers optomized to run almost instantaneously now.
3. The MATE SELF social now may make the player go blind.
4. A summary of the total value of each currency is now listed in the money section of inventory.
5. Items and MOBs in room listings are now always capitalized -- ok, pretty trivial, but I'm padding the list anyway.
6. New Prayer: Divine Favor -- not qualified for by any cleric -- intended as a deity blessing.
7. The Chicken Race now lays eggs instead of just the Chicken MOB
8. Reply now has its own zapper mask in StdJournal/GenJournal
