Surveys have been fixed so they don't overflow. Checkpointed sectors are reported. Large maps no longer cause segment violations and other problems. You no longer are able to run into the edge of the world. The world map will wrap back on itself. This version also uses much less memory making forking the editor much faster. The editor commands now use the VISUAL and EDITOR environment variables. You may now fork a shell with the ! command (uses the SHELL environment variable). More commodity, census, etc. files may be read in without having to enter them on the command line. A Naval mode has been added to display navies and ship information. Tracing of routes for mov and nav commands may be shown on the screen using ^P. Enjoy
