This just converts the few DOS text files still in here to standard text files (line-endings), removes all the trailing spaces on lines, removes all the trailing blank lines, and replaces all the tabs (except in .zon files, where they seem to be common) with expanded spaces. It's easy to confirm this is actually a non-change, except for whitespace: * `git show -w` shows this commit as only removing 8 trailing blank lines. This should make no difference to tbaMUD itself, but it will make working on these files, especially with scripts and automated tools, much easier. This is the base change for a set of other changes I will put up once/if this merges, without this, the others are just too complicated to wrangle.

No animal has been more revered or feared in history, and no animal has been

friend and helper ... A reincarnated evil spirit ... The harbinger of bad
|
|
luck. Countless tales recall the mystical qualities of black cats from King
|
|
Charles I of England, who was so obsessed with the fear of losing his black cat
|
|
that he had it guarded 24-seven, to fishermen's wives keeping a black cat at
|
|
home to prevent sea-going disasters. In Australia and Britain black cats are
|
|
considered lucky, while in America we basically believe the opposite.

|
|
Groundhog Day, a Canadian and American tradition, the day (February 2) that the
|
|
groundhog, or woodchuck, comes out of his hole after winter hibernation to look for his
|
|
shadow; foretells six more weeks of bad weather if he sees it; spring is coming if he cannot
|
|
see his shadow because of clouds; supposedly goes back into his hole if more bad weather is
|
|
coming and stays above ground if spring is near; statistical evidence does not support this
|
|
tradition.
|
|
This tradition is from a old European belief that if it is sunny on Candlemas Day, then
|
|
the winter would remain another six weeks. Candlemas Day was celebrated on February second
|
|
and commemorated the purification of the Virgin Mary. Candles for sacred uses were blessed
|
|
on this day.
|
|
|
|
Six more weeks of winter for 2003!
