Our version of empire (4.1BSD of April 17 82) would not
allow the mining of ocean sectors. The message produced was
"Can't mine from this one". Since I created our world to have a lot of rivers,
our game is very navally oriented and this bug was most annoying. Now,
in addition to having a new coastwatch, we have a fixed mine command. One
of our biggest, meanest countries needed it badly enough to
have a look at the code and
give me most of what needed to be done. The is (was):
[an intrinsically distasteful object fix, of course]
the test at line 58 (via abd) in mine.o (extracted from empcom.a)
should be changed to
beqlu 7c
by writing in 2213 (hex) to location 58.
This is the section
of code that checks for the type of ship (incorrectly).
