Chapter 10 Map Manipulation

Occasionally, something awful happens to map data which not only defies
explanation, but usually cannot be repaired.  It also always seems to happen to
the most complex and/or urgent project.  Well, folks....the answer to this
nightmare may be the wonder function, fix_map.  At least it's worth a try....

fix_map

    Repairs corrupted files.
     
         fix_map [name]

    Checks all files comprising the named map, retaining all consistent data
    and removing all corrupted data, resulting in an accessible, albeit
    incomplete, map.  If no name is entered, the current, active map files are
    used.  This function will repair, as best as possible, a map corrupted
    beyond both use and belief.
