The @set_obj_weight, @set_obj_height and @set_obj_vol commands set the
weight, volume and height of an object.  Related commands like
@set_obj_weight_capacity set containers' capacities for these same
attributes.

The weight of an object is, well, how heavy it is.  Since this game
doesn't allow changing gravity, the weight of the object is considered
synonymous with its mass.  We use the normal surface-of-earth
conversion rates of kilograms to pounds.  The weights are internally
stored in kilograms.

@set_obj_weight sets the weight of an object.  You call it with the
object number and the new weight.  For instance:

@set_obj_weight #300 10000.0

This would set the weight of object #300 to 10,000 kilograms.

The volume of an object is how much space it takes up.  Volumes are
internally stored in liters (the same as a cubic decimeter).  Note
that there are 1,000 liters to the cubic meter.  A decimeter is about
as long as measuring from your thumb to your little finger across your
outspread hand, and a cubic decimeter is the equivalent of a cube one
decimeter on a side.  So it's a cube about one handspan on a side.

Or it's about a quart if you want to do it the simple way :-)

@set_obj_volume sets the volume of an object.  You call it with the
object number and the new volume.  For instance:

@set_obj_volume #300 1500.0

This would set the volume of object #300 to 1,500 liters, or one and a
half cubic meters.

The length of an object is how long it is along its longest axis.  So
an arrow would be measured from the cleft at the bottom to the point.
An orange or a ball would be measured across the center.  Texas would
be measured from Brownsville in the far South to the far tip of the
panhandle.  Length is internally measured in centimeters.

A container may contain objects totalling less than or equal to its
weight capacity and its volume capacity.  That is to say, the total of
all weights together must be less than or equal to its weight
capacity, and the same for volumes and its volume capacity.

Every individual object must be less than its total length capacity,
so a quiver of arrows could accomodate 20 arrows of its maximum length
quite comfortably, but couldn't accomodate even one single javelin.

The @set_weight_capacity, @set_volume_capacity and
@set_length_capacity commands set the capacities of a container.
For instance,

  @set_length_capacity #300 100.0

This would set the length capacity of object #300 to 100.0
centimeters, or one meter.
