*********************************************
 THIS BUG IS CONTAINED IN THE update.c FILE.
*********************************************

As you can see in the QUEST snippet, you must (And I think that you have done it)
stick this line in the file update.c:

	quest_update ( );

Just right here:

    if ( --pulse_area     <= 0 )
    {
	pulse_area	= PULSE_AREA;
	/* number_range( PULSE_AREA / 2, 3 * PULSE_AREA / 2 ); */
	area_update	( );
    }

So this will look something like this:

    if ( --pulse_area     <= 0 )
    {
	pulse_area	= PULSE_AREA;
	/* number_range( PULSE_AREA / 2, 3 * PULSE_AREA / 2 ); */
	area_update	( );
      quest_update ( );
    }

*********************************************************************************
Perfect... you got your Quest Updater running...
*********************************************************************************
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! THERE'S A BUG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you have done this surely the players in your MUD are complaining about the
time between quests... That's Obvious!!! the time of the Area_Update is bigger
than 1 minute! sometimes this takes over 5 minutes!... so if you player have
5 minutes for the next quest, really, he/she can have about over 10 minutes!.

Well I've cutted the line and paste it onto another place... You must do this too
take the line:

	quest_update ( );

And paste this over there:

    if ( --pulse_point    <= 0 )
    {
	wiznet("TICK!",NULL,NULL,WIZ_TICKS,0,0);
	pulse_point     = PULSE_TICK;
/* number_range( PULSE_TICK / 2, 3 * PULSE_TICK / 2 ); */
	weather_update	( );
	char_update	( );
	obj_update	( );
    }

So this will look just like this:

    if ( --pulse_point    <= 0 )
    {
	wiznet("TICK!",NULL,NULL,WIZ_TICKS,0,0);
	pulse_point     = PULSE_TICK;
/* number_range( PULSE_TICK / 2, 3 * PULSE_TICK / 2 ); */
	weather_update	( );
	char_update	( );
	obj_update	( );
	quest_update ( );
    }

And now the time will really be a minute for minute.

That's all...
