                           Command : AUTODISTRIBUTE

 SYNTAX:
   [##:##] Command: autodistribute <SECTS> <SECT/DES> [PATH TYPE]

The autodistribute command is used to automatically set up a distribution path
that  goods  will  travel  during an update.  It performs essentially the same
function as the distribute command, but instead  of  you  having  to  manually
specify  the distribution path, this command automatically determines the path
of least mobility cost from source to destination based on information in your
country's  bmap and sector databases.  Any path found is also guaranteed to be
fully owned by you.

For example,
   [##:##] Command: autodist 94:100,-65:-62 w +=#

                           Command : AUTODISTRIBUTE

   warehouse at 97,-65 : hh
   harbor at 99,-65 : gh
   oil field at 96,-64 : uh
   highway at 98,-64 : yh
   highway at 100,-64 : bh
   gold mine at 95,-63 : jjh
   highway at 97,-63 : jh
   warehouse at 99,-63 : hh

The first parameter is the sector, range of sectors, or realm  containing  the
sectors for which you want to set up distribution paths.  The second parameter
is either the specific destination sector coordinates, or a sector type desig-
nation.  If the latter, an attempt will be made to find a route to the nearest
sector of that type.  The optional third parameter is a list of  sector  types
to  which you want to restrict the final path.  If left unspecified, the route
may pass through any developed or wilderness sectors.

The command will warn you if the path you specify does not end at a  warehouse
or  if a path cannot be found.  It is not mandatory that the distribution path

                           Command : AUTODISTRIBUTE

end at a warehouse.  If an autodistribute path is not to your liking, you  can
always manually set up a path using the distribute command.

Use threshold to specify what good will flow to and from the warehouse.
