Not too sure how long it'll take to finish. There's not a whole lot left
to do, but my time is fairly limited at the moment.  If someone wants to
lend a hand, it wouldn't be too difficult, I think.  Basicly you need to
rename whatever::Write(ofile) to whatever::fileWrite(ofile), then create
whatever::dbWrite() and make a wrapper function for anything that
called whatever::Write(ofile). I'll go ahead and promote the code that can
write rooms once it compiles if anyone'd like to take a crack at objects
or critters before I get a chance to.
