Description
Netrek is a multiplayer (up to 16 players) network space battle/conquest game, with a Star Trek theme. Players can command one of several ship types (Federation/Romulan/Klingon/Orion) and can band up in teams. The object of the game is, basically, to control the Universe, by capturing enemy planets, killing the enemy, etc.
NOTE: This is the "BRMH" client. It is optimized for speed, and so is well suited to you if you have a slowish system. However, you don't get any of the fancy extras, like colors, sound, etc.
NOTE 2: This client is distributed in binary form, because it is a "Blessed" client, meaning that it has been approved by the "Gods of Netrek" and has had an RSA key embedded in it. You can, of course, compile your own client if you wish, but keep in mind that, if you do so, your client will be "Un-Blessed" and will probably be kicked out of the official servers. This is to prevent some unscrupulous player from hacking his/her client to give him/her superhuman powers ("cyborgs", or "borgs").

Message after installing
The Netrek client is now installed. You may start it by typing "netrek".
Be sure and read the Netrek web site (http://www.netrek.org/) before you
play! It contains many useful documents for the new (and not-so-new)
Netrek player, including the Netrek FAQ. Highly recommended reading!
NOTE: Since this client was compiled, the address of the Netrek metaserver
has changed. The new metaserver address is "metaserver.netrek.org">
To fix this, please insert the following into your ${HOME}/.netrekrc
file:
metaserver: metaserver.netrek.org
Enjoy, have fun, and may you live long and prosper...
