This is the mish file for the human player in the sandbox, namely missions\98\mish98.txt. I have added my comments in dark red, and linked to copies of the included files which I have also commented upon. These comments are based on my own analysis of the code and my experience in working with it. I do not have any special inside information from MuckyFoot about these files, and I may in some instances be wrong.

This is the mish file for the AI player in the sandbox, namely missions\98\mish98-2.txt.
