Note that there is the equivalent of a catch() around these calls at the driver level, so it is not neccessary for the mudlib to worry about the sequence being terminated by an error. <p> Typical behavoir is to use load_object() to attempt to load the file. <p> See also: <A HREF=preload.html> preload </A>, <A HREF=../../efuns/calls/catch.html> catch </A>, <A HREF=../../efuns/objects/load_object.html> load_object </A> <p> <HR> <ADDRESS> <A HREF=http://wagner.princeton.edu/~tim> Tim Hollebeek </A> <p> <A HREF="http://www.imaginary.com/~beek/"> Beek </A>@ZorkMUD, Lima Bean, IdeaExchange, TMI-2, and elsewhere </ADDRESS>
