Freeciv 1.0i ported to OS/2

Introduction
============
This archive contains Freeciv version 1.0, a free Civilization clone for UNIX
and X. This version only allows multiplayer games, which means you can't play
against computer-players.

The client is a X program which closely resembles Sid Meier's original. The
necessary Civilization server is included in this archive; up to 16 network
players.

Changes
=======
It was merely a simple recompile, I only had to turn on the ICANON terminal
attribute for the server to make select() work on stdin.

Requirements
============
  * XFree86 3.2
  * EMX 0.9c fix 2
  * HPFS

Available

The OS/2 port is available in archive freeciv1i.zip from

  ftp://ftp-os2.nmsu.edu/pub/incoming (finally placed in /games) or
  ftp://ftp.very.priv.at/xfree/

ported to OS/2 by
