=========================== I've moved this project from sourceforge to github. Nobody had done anything with it since 2002, so I decided to pick back up where I left off and try to get it going.

=========================== Readme for TWClone Website: http://twclone.sourceforge.net

Instructions on installation can be found in the INSTALL file.

Files to note:

1) PROTOCOL This file lists the various commands to and from the server. Good thing to read for those who are interested in helping, or making their own clients. Don't forget about UPDATE It's what allows for real time messages and movement. 2) INSTALL How to install. 3) LICENSE The GNU Public License

Note on data files: If you want to edit the data files by hand look at the header(.h) files. They should explain in what order the data is stored. Also if your editor of choice has a REPLACE option for editing files, use it lest BadThings(tm) happen.

Quick Install

$ ./configure $ make $ make install

Developers

Run "./gen" to generate Makefile.in, configure, and other files. Note that if you run "make" and Makefile.am or configure.in have been changed, autoconf and automake will be automatically run, so there is really no need to do this.

Run "./cvs2cl" to generate the ChangeLog file off of the CVS log messages. Something that bears noting: when checking in the ChangeLog, please do not use a message. Otherwise, the ChangeLog will turn into some recursive nightmare filled with messages about itself.
