Sorry for that :((( I forgot to remove this debugging line. Please
comment out line 204 in me_cmds.tcl (puts "$f - $t [llength ...) and
make once again. Will be fixed in new release.

Yes. We've changed the behaviour of area command. Now the sand is filled
randomly - it looks much better on the map, but it takes much more space
(because every dot is given by coordinates, before it was pattern with
three dots).

We are on the way to find a compromise - randomly filled pattern big
enought, that it will not be too much visible, that it is a pattern.

We would like to add "area blocks", where random blocks are definitely
needed (it can not be pattern). Therefore we've changed the management
of area commands - and "area sand" was used as a test (randomly
generated dots clipped to area border).

Regards, S.
