Domains may only be set in the master object function domain_file(), however authors are different. They can be initialized to some default value by author_file() in the master object, but can also be changed using the set_author efun. <p> set_author changes the author of the object that it is called within. That author will get credit for all future actions of that object that affect mudlib statistics. <p> See also: <A HREF=../../applies/master/author_file.html> author_file </A>, <A HREF=../../applies/master/domain_file.html> domain_file </A>, <A HREF=author_stats.html> author_stats </A>, <A HREF=set_author.html> set_author </A>, <A HREF=domain_stats.html> domain_stats </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>
