At best, it says the range is 0.5 (for a 100% efficient sector - non-radar - with some technology [empfix shows the sector has nv=5 too]). Does coastwatch EVER work? If somebody out there has a working version, we'd love to hear about it. (Maybe you could send the coas.o uuencoded - does that require psl's permission?) By the way, we discovered that by patching enli.o with adb, we could make enlistment more BTU costly and avoid the "steamroller effect" in wars. This seems to work rather well, and is relatively realistic. After all, the ought to be a lot of paperwork involved in starting and army! (By the ways, ours is a 4.1BSD version) Greg Dudek
