                              Concept : Prohibit

 By setting up an `emp.prohibit' file in the game's  database  directory,  the
person  hosting the game can explicitly prohibit some or all players from exe-
cuting specific commands.

The `emp.prohibit' file contains lines of simple ascii text,  with  each  line
defining  restrictions  for  one  command.   The syntax is simple, but must be
adhered to:

           #comment
           command [optional list of country numbers] [#comment]
           ...

Comment lines begin with a pound symbol (#); blank lines and lines that  begin
with  a  comment  are  ignored.   To  prohibit use of a command by all players
(except deities), place the `command' at the beginning of a line and leave the
remainder  of  the  line blank.  To prohibit just certain countries from using
the command, leave some whitespace after the command name, and then specify  a
blank-separated  list  of country numbers.  You can specify a range of country

                              Concept : Prohibit

numbers by placing a dash between the two endpoint numbers (e.g., "5-15").

Anything after "#" on any line is treated as a comment and ignored.
