&gt;&gt; 
&gt;&gt; :&gt; Again, can't help you. I've done caches, but not for my mud... and there
&gt;&gt; :&gt; is such a broad spectrum of things that qualify as cache. Do you want to
&gt;&gt; :&gt; know more about cached in-memory storage for a disk-based DB? 
&gt;&gt; 
&gt;&gt; :Yes.

&gt;See Cold, Cool and Uber(or is that Unter?).

MOO's DB coder (while a direct ancestor of Cool, and Cold's, and a child
of Uber at least in spirit), is also worth looking at.

&gt;Well try to think of all items within an object as just data.  Assign no
&gt;importance as to whether something is a function or not.  It is merely a 
&gt;pointer to more data.  Pay no attention to the little man behind the 
&gt;curtain.  It's not easy for me either, since I mentally tend to 
&gt;differentiate functions from procedures.

Quite.  This is essential to any good OO design.  I found that you can
further devolve tbe function binding by going with message passing tho
this is more a thought process which leads in that direction than anything
required for greater abstraction.  Were I to do it again I'd probably wrap
my messages as classes with the various ctors/dtors being used as the
effective agents.

&gt; Hmm.  Another Rational Rose user.  I like it, but have been burned.  
&gt; Hint: Keep good backups of all iterations of clean source as well as
&gt; the .mdl's that generated them.

I am becoming a fast fan of journalling versioning file systems.  These
problems just disappear.
