I hope you like my bot. Any feedback is welcomed... including bug reports.

We found a serious error with the pdrop/citkill/evac commands introduced late in the last version.
The problem is serious enough i think to warrant an interim update to fix it.
There happens to be a few more improvements as i work towards the next version.

* ADDED announcements to the "no hotkey zone" when messaging.
* FIXED SHIP UPDATE leaving you at the Computer prompt (and not actually updating the ship info).
* ADDED the AUTOFURB command to automatically kill a ship towed into sector. (ON/OFF)
* ADDED the ALL parameter to the NEWS command to summarise all news from game start to now.
* FIXED "trigger exists" error in PDROP, EVAC and CITKILL (introduced by the mode command last version).

The file (z-bot.cts) is attached. Please replace the one from the zed-pack after install.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
