  A plugin should never use ''free'' or equivalent on data the server allocated. A plugin should never directly link to Crossfire library and call functions. This may work on some platforms, but will crash on others (example is Windows).

    * create your plugin directory ''cftest'', in ''plugins''
    * copy ''plugins/template/plugin_template.c'' to ''plugins/template/cftest.c''
    * copy ''plugins/template/include/plugin_template.h'' to ''plugins/cftest/include/cftest.h''
    * modify ''plugins/cftest/cftest.c'' and ''plugins/cftest/include/cftest.h'' to correct the file names in the includes and such. You may also want to change the plugin's name
