I am using the following codes to decompile my dbase to logfiles.

@dol [search(all,none,none)]=@decomp/db ##

But the list is too long and buffer gets overrun.
Even when I do

@dol [search(all,room,object)]=@decomp/db ##
and
@dol [search(all,room,room)]=@decomp/db ##

However doesnt work on player.. :(

Anyone can tell me how to fix this, im running pennmush 1.7.2p34 win32.. I tried patching but failed miserably.

thanks

I don't know, sorry. That old version is from ages ago, and I haven't looked at it for years. I imagine if you asked on the PennMUSH site they would suggest using a newer version.

The database file is human-readable, I think. What are you trying to achieve by "dump to log" in this case?
