(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.

.TH Command WALL

.NA wall "Send a message directly to all allies terminals"
|

.LV Expert

.SY "wall [<MESSAGE>]"
|

.s1

The wall command allows instant communication between allied nations.
|
|
It may be called in two different ways. You can either send your ally a one
|
|
line message as in:
|
|
.EX wall Hi there, I'm back from lunch
|
|
.s1
|
|
Or you can send a multi-line message:
|
|
.EX wall
|
|
.NF
|
|
> Everyone ready?
|
|
> OK, let's hit the beaches!
|
|
> .
|
|
.FI
|
|
Note that you can end a multi-line wall with either a '.' (period)
|
|
on a line all by itself, or by hitting ^D on a line by itself.
|
|
Note also that all messages are truncated to 60 characters long!

If you do not wish to receive any broadcast messages from your allies,
|
|
then you can temporarily turn the feature off by typing "toggle flash".
