Nemesis bulletin boards: LPC bulletin board, note 5

The chest in /obj/chest.c is not what it should be i think...
I did inherit it and found out it doesn't allow you to put things in it.
I made a copy and inserted 2 lines, should work properly now.
You can have a look at it in ~quicksilver/pub/chest.c
Perhaps someone with write-access would like to put it in the /obj -dir ?
Nice coding to all of you..
                             ];) Quick

Addendum: more than 2 decades later an answer: the new obj/chest and
the answer below :-) \Kiri

Here you can discuss LPC issues like how to code this and that,
who has coded something like this or how that works etc.
As there are no real "secrets" on this board it is now
available via https://nemesis.de/lpc/board/10/ , too.
