I have been able to trace the problem to the dbm routine 'fetch' (at least, that is where I think it is) Basically, fetch isn't doing it's job so that everytime it does a database lookup, it never finds old entries. Result: every time you log in, you get a new 'game account' and furthermore any and all hulls you build will never be accessable. Now I will be the first to confess my ignorance of how dbm works, so if anyone has any ideas... Doug Jenner
