Aren't those "two" free_techs patches (just about) the same?  If you are
refering to "Ben's" patch and "My" recent patch, then they are both
based on an extensive piece of code from early 2000, or maybe 1999,
which spawned freecivAC.

Maybe I'm being slow, but what is the point in global free
technologies?  Can't the same overall effect be achieved with the
current ruleset options? (Sorry, I've never looked at the init_techs
patch)

In any case, I don't see any point in rolling together the free_tech and
init_tech patches.  They shouldn't interfere with each other.

Stewart.
