&gt; 
&gt; Hello everyone!
&gt; 
&gt; I have been looking at reducing the size of pfiles.
&gt; Instead of saving each object individually why not combine like objects
&gt; (similar to do_inventory() with the combine flag)
&gt; Has anyone seen/done this before?

I believe Smaug does this already.  In addition, my mud only writes out
the vnum and worn location of unmodified generic items, rather than
storing information that the mud already knows about for each instance
of that item.

KaVir.
