TERMS OF USE:
-------------
Keep any comments of headers in place.
If you use my code, send me an e-mail
letting me know that you are using it.
Always make sure you back up your files
before making any changes. I will assume no responsibility
if something goes wrong.
What it is:
-----------
This code changes the character creation process.
Instead of choosing a class first then a race,
the player will choose a race first, then a race.
the setclass, showclass, setrace and showrace commands
are also changed to reflect the new code.
This code will not affect any current users, they
can stll keep there current race and class.
Also included are the modified stock class and
race files. If there are differences in the stock
files to my own, please let me know.
This is my first code snippet to be released,
be kind.
Instructions:
-------------
Before you start, make sure you back up your mud.
Also make sure you back up your class and race files.
The sections that are to be commented out, are to ease an
uninstallation process, you can delete these sections of code
if you feel the need to.

I've included modified race and class files from stock smaug 1.4a
