Change which caused this:

date: 2001/09/14 07:35:09;  author: rfalke;  state: Exp;  lines: +18 -19
Remove DIR_D[XY]2 and it's only user. The road and rail sprites in
isometric tilesets are now indexed by symbolic names in the
specfile. In the code the array is now indexed by DIR_D[XY].

Solution: perform changes like this on the spec file:

Index: terrain1.spec
