Subject: BLESSED CLIENTS
Summary: The compiled binaries listed under this category are 'blessed,'
. which means that most servers will accept them at all times 
. (unblessed clients get booted out).  There are two types of
. blessing, reserved.c (old) and RSA (new).  Most servers are 
. now accepting only RSA-blessed clients.  With some RSA clients,
. you need to use -R on the command line to enable RSA blessing.
. -o enables old-style blessing.


Name: BRM-Hadley 1.7-2.2
Author: hadley@ics.uci.edu
Description: A version of Berkricksmoo streamlined for speed.  Good
.     client for slow machines.  Supports RSA, short packets, and
.     ping stats.  There is also a FONTBASED version for the sun 3
.     which uses fonts instead of bitmaps for the ships; this should
.     speed things up considerably.  Version 2.0 supports RCD's.
.     Supports TTS.  This client does not expire.

Subject: UNBLESSED CLIENTS (Borgs)
Summary: The clients listed here are not blessed and will be booted out of
. servers which do binary checking.  These clients have various 
. features which aid standard human play (such as auto-aiming, 
. auto-firing, auto-dodging, etc.) 

No binaries or source known available.


Subject: SERVER SOURCE
Summary: This is a listing of all known netrek server sources.  Before you
. try to set up a server, make sure your sysadmin approves.  Also,
. running a server takes rudimentary programming skills and the
. ability to understand and use 'make' and other Unix tools; don't
. expect to be able to FTP one of these packages and have a server
. up and running with no effort.
