      Why not add another field to the object structure, and record the name of

If it is in object structure wouldn't that be overkill?
Well I wasn't eager to add a new field to player structure just for this,
and you can use the get player by name routine (is how the DM command for
this works.) I don't mind having the limit actaully - if you get killed
before you can forgive someone then they are SOL. Remember they have to
either steal or have peaceful off to get flagged anyway so I don't think it
is worth having/maintaining another field in object or player.  Now if there
were other reasons to add the field (are you thinking of anything?) then
that would be different.
