NAME
     fairland - Empire land generator

SYNOPSIS
     fairland [option]...  nc sc [ni [is [sp [pm [di [id]]]]]]

DESCRIPTION
     fairland  is a program which creates land for Empire.  It should be run af-
     ter files has been run and before emp_server has been started.  It  creates
     a	specified number of start islands ("continents"), and spaces them evenly
     accross the map.  It makes all of them the same size, and makes  sure  that
     they  don't meet.	It gives each start island exactly the same distribution
     of resources and the same number of mountains.  Different arguments produce
     quite different kinds of maps.

OPTIONS

     -h     Help.  Print brief usage information and exit.

     -i     Islands will crash into each other and merge.

     -q     Run quietly without printing anything to the terminal.

     -R seed
	    Use seed as seed for the pseudo-random number generator.   This  can
	    be	used  to reproduce a previously created world.	The seed used to
