  We are running the empire export of Apr 17 1982 and never seem
to be able to get a reasonable response from "coastwatch."  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)
