unitialized' warning. Funcional change: you can now change direction without threshold (matches documentation, clarify it anyway). Change prompt for the third argument to reflect that. Also provide context when prompting for the fourth argument; this is sorely needed we didn't prompt for the third argument.

An example of using deliver in addition to distribute is where
|
|
you may have a mine which uses distribute to get its food
|
|
from a warehouse, but uses deliver to export its iron to the adjacent
|
|
hcm factory.
|
|
.s1
|
|
Deliver may be used to extra-fine tune a distribution network. In
|
|
fact, deliver can greatly improve the performance of a distribution
|
|
network if used properly.
|
|
.s1
|
|
If 'q' is specified rather than a threshold, then the delivery
|
|
directions and thresholds will simply be listed. You can also use the
|
|
"cutoff" command to list delivery thresholds.
|
|
.s1
|
|
The number <THRESH> specifies how much of that commodity you would
|
|
like to be kept in the sector. If you do not want to change the
|
|
direction that a sector delivers to, then put a '+' before the number
|
|
<THRESH>.
|
|
.s1
|
|
Note that delivery thresholds are stored as multiples of 8. If you
|
|
specify a threshold that is not a multiple of 8, it will be rounded down.
|
|
.s1
|
|
The direction must be specified as one of the six direction characters,
|
|
(usually `y' `u' `j' `n' `b' or `g'), the \*Qno-direction\*U character,
|
|
(usually `h'). If no direction is specified, then the direction will
|
|
not be changed for that sector.
|
|
.s1
|
|
.EX "deli f 0,0 0 j"
|
|
Will deliver all food from 0,0 to 2,0.
|
|
.EX "deli i * ?des=m +87"
|
|
Will set iron delivery threshold to 80 in all mines.
|
|
.EX "deli l * q"
|
|
Will list all lcm delivery specifications. (Sectors with no delivery
|
|
threshold or direction will not be listed).
|
|
.s1
|
|
The census and commodity reports will indicate deliveries by the
|
|
same characters used to specify them in this command.
|
|
.s1
|
|
If, during an update, the destination sector is not owned by you,
|
|
the message \*Qdelivery walkout between x,y & x,y\*U will be printed
|
|
and nothing will be delivered.
|
|
.s1
|
|
Delivery routes may also be mapped out with the \*Qroute\*U command.
