Subject: FAQ LISTS Summary: The latest versions of the rec.games.netrek FAQ, server, and FTP lists. Location: soda.berkeley.edu /pub/netrek rtfm.mit.edu /pub/usenet/rec.games.netrek 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: COW (Client Of Win) Author: Team, distributed by siegl@risc.uni-linz.ac.at.
