$Id: README,v 1.1 1999/01/22 21:24:00 ahn Exp $ README for TedTurner 1.3 This is the Paradise/TedTurner client. It is a full color version of the older Paradise 2.x clients. This client is required to play on Paradise servers, but it can also be used to play on other Netrek servers such as Bronco, Hockey, Chaos and INL. For more information on Paradise, visit http://paradise.netrek.org/. For more information on Netrek, visit http://www.netrek.org/. This client is distributed in two forms: binary and source. To prevent clever players from modifying the source to cheat on the public servers, a Netrek client uses RSA public key cryptography to allow only special RSA-enabled ("blessed") clients to connect to and play on RSA-enabled servers. Some servers are RSA-disabled, so either blessed or unblessed clients are allowed. If you are interested in playing Paradise or Netrek, you need to download the binary for your platform. You do not need to download the source code and compile it. TedTurner RSA-enabled binaries and source code are available from ftp://ftp.netrek.org/pub/netrek/clients/tedturner/ ftp://ftp.netrek.org/pub/netrek/paradise/ The binaries are generally named in the following way: TedTurner-"version"."Vendor/Arch" "OS_name"-"OS-version" For example, TedTurner 1.2 for an SGI IRIX 6.2 workstation and TedTurner 1.3 for an Intel Win32 (Windows 3.11 + Win32, Win95, Win98, WinNT) would be: TedTurner-1.2.sgi-IRIX-6.2 TedTurner-1.3.intel-Win32 If a binary for your platform does not exist and you are interested in helping with the port (i.e. you can port it yourself or can provide remote access to the machine), please contact the TedTurner client maintainer(s) and/or the paradise work group. If you find bugs or problems, please report them back to the maintainer. Suggestions and comments are also welcome. Maintainer: Dave Ahn Paradise Work Group: paradise-workers@goof.com
