(all): Depend on info. Flatten info directory. This undoes the move to one subdirectory per chapter, which was done during Empire 2. The structure doesn't buy us much, as the info name space is flat, and it complicates makefiles. Overhaul info.pl: - It now wants to run in the root of the build tree. - Information on source files and subjects is now stored in makefiles, thus info.pl no longer picks up random junk from the file system. - Clean up Perl anachronisms, in particular use subroutine arguments and results rather than global variables where convenient. - Change format of diagnostics to the common format used by GNU tools, so that Emacs and the like can parse it. - Catch missing .SA. - When creating a new subject file, cowardly refuse to overwrite an existing file. - Subject files contain topics sorted by chapter, then by name. The order of chapters used to depend on how Perl sorts hash keys. Fix it.

This command allows you to consider accepting a loan or treaty
|
|
offered by another country.
|
|
.s1
|
|
The program will list the various terms of the loan or treaty

|
under consideration and ask for your decision
|
|
as to whether to accept the terms, decline them,
|
|
or postpone making a decision.
|
|
.s1
|
|
If you accept a loan,
|
|
the money is immediately credited to your account
|
|
and the time period of the loan starts.
|
|
If at the time of your acceptance,
|
|
the lender does not have sufficient funds the size of the loan
|
|
will be diminished to fit the lender's cash on hand.
|
|
.s1
|
|
If you accept a treaty,
|
|
it goes into effect immediately but the time period of the treaty
|
|
is calculated based on the offer date
|
|
rather than the acceptance date.
|
|
.s1
|
|
Loan offers are withdrawn if not accepted within a number
|
|
of days equal to the proposed loan's duration.
|
|

Treaty offers expire at the time the proposed treaty would expire.
|
|
.s1
|
|
Warning: When the terms of a loan are printed out,
|
|
take note of the due date;
|
|
if you do not pay by the due date the interest will double
|
|
and you will be subject to \*Qcollection\*U,
|
|
(see \*Qinfo collect\*U).
