( I suggest the following for "bool spec_questmaster( CHAR_DATA *ch )" )
bool spec_questmaster( CHAR_DATA *ch )
{
 if ( !IS_NPC(ch) )
  return FALSE;
 else
  return TRUE;
}

 */

void    quest_update    args( ( void ) ); /* Vassago - quest.c */

*/
Now in the mud shell, you need to set up the quest items defined in quest.c,
and set up your questmaster by using ...
mset <victim> spec spec_questmaster
Lastly create the quest command using something like ...
cedit aquest create do_aquest

And that should be it ... hope you enjoy.
