For those of you who are Xtrek fans, you might want to try Berkely's NetrekII. It is an implementation of XtrekII for X11 and includes all kinds of nice things such as different classes of ships and ranking of players. It is available from scam.berkeley.edu in the file ipctrek.tar.Z. It takes a little work to make it run on a Sun 3/60 workstation, but if there is any interest I can mail or post my fixes for it. It really does work nice. -- Brett McCoy | God is real, unless declared integer brtmac@ksuvm.ksu.edu | bmc@phobos.cis.ksu.edu | If you don't get caught, brtmac@hobbes.ksu.ksu.edu | did you really do it?
