Message-ID: <CI651v.DG6@usenet.ucs.indiana.edu> Followup-To: rec.games.netrek Sender: news@usenet.ucs.indiana.edu (USENET News System) Nntp-Posting-Host: mimosa.astro.indiana.edu Organization: Indiana University Astronomy Department Date: Fri, 17 Dec 1993 07:34:37 GMT Lines: 39 Hi, Due to popular demand I have ported the latest version of the famous BRM netrek client. Current version is 3.00 patch level 3. What does it do that the older versions don't? I haven't the faintest idea ... only that I have had enough E-Mail to drive me nuts about getting it out so it must be pretty good. The binary was just uploaded to ftp.cd.chalmers.se (the standard BRM distribution site) in gz format. It should be located in the /pub/netrek/brm-bin directory, but might be in the /pub/incoming directory if you are too early getting it. Be sure to use 'binary' mode with ftp when you get it. I can't tell you how many people sent me mail with the last port saying 'it does not run ... what's wrong' because they transferred it in ascii mode. I used the same secret RSA key I used with my last port, so it should work right away. I played a game on bigbang.astro.indiana.edu a while ago with ppp and it worked great. The RSA ley was already there. So, feel free to replace your current version of the BRM with this one. It should work right away. Have Fun! Jim Pitts (ThePitts) PS I was suprised to find out that my last port would not run on a NetBSD machine (current rev). A simple recompile solved the problem on an account provided by a friendly fellow netrek player. Could a NetBSD-er out there try this client out and tell me if I need to do this again for the NetBSD people again? -- - pitts@mimosa.astro.indiana.edu ^ | James J.
