Modify the SLOT(XXX) to suit your code, and customize the level of the spells if
you want players to get them, I don't like a lot having 100% of great weapons,
so I don't give this spells to players.

(7.) Copy forge.c to your source directory and add forge.o to your Makefile

(8.) Make clean (rm *.o rom) and recompile the mud 

(9.) Add one mob to one of your area files and start (or copyover) the mud and
     enjoy a mud with a forger. 

(10.) And remember to mail me telling what you think of it. 8)

P.S. If you don't have fixed the WEAPON_VORPAL affect you may fix it, if not
     put a 0 cost to this modification 8)=        (WEAPON_VORPAL == nothing)
