CivNet never prevented me from unloading next to an enemy city or
unit:

     .....L    ( . = water )
     ...TLL    ( T = transport )
     ..LExL    ( L = land )
     ..LLLL    ( E = enemy unit )
               ( x = where I want to go )

CivNet lets me unload from the transport T to x, even though if
the transport were on land, this would be prevented by ZOC because
I'd be "going across the face of" enemy unit E.

Just my two cents worth...

Mitch.
