Dammit. I had all of Guk working fine until I upgraded to the 1002 build, now I'm getting errors and no response from the frogs. Here's what I'm seeing in the error log:

What'd we do wrong here?

Seems to be some differances in how you declare a parameter in te new version.
Check out how it has been changed in the changelog.

Maybe the string declaration (or what it now is) has ben changed to
$phrase8 := "yada yada";
Or similar. Check it out. There is the trouble it seems anyway since it errors on each of those code snipps...

I checked the changelog, and there wasn't anything listed that would indicate these ever being changed. This is especially annoying, as I recently uploaded the whole batch for Upper and Lower Guk to PEQ's quest repository. Grrr. I think that when I have time (work is picking up; probably won't get the chance until next week at the earliest), I'll sit down and see if one of the other methods here will do the job without throwing me errors.

EmanonCow's code with Budaworm's correction looks like what I'll probably go with, but hopefully their version of things won't meet with the same errors that what I settled on did.
