##### Translator Notes:
I tried to preserve as much of the original layout and flow of the code
as possible. However I did use quasi enumerated types for the Fort numbers
and Fur types. I think this was certainly a change for the better, and
makes the code much easier to read.
I program in many different languages on a daily basis. Most languages
require brackets around expressions, so I just cannot bring myself to
write an expression without brackets. IMHO it makes the code easier to study,
but it does contravene the Python PEP-8 Style guide.
Interestingly the code seems to have a bug around the prices of Fox Furs.
The commodity-rate for these is stored in the variable `D1`, however some
paths through the code do not set this price. So there was a chance of
using this uninitialised, or whatever the previous loop set. I don't
think this was the original authors intent. So I preserved the original flow
of the code (using the previous `D1` value), but also catching the
uninitialised path, and assigning a "best guess" value.
