[Freeciv-Dev] CivWorld

[Daniel Gudlat <gudlat@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello FreeCiv team,
Martin asked me to notify him of this, but since it may be of interest to
more than just him, I'll post it here. I just received a mail from Benjamin
Drieu, who started the CivWorld project:
> > after reading the request for help in the CivWorld project, I downloaded
> > the sources from your web page and fiddled with them over the last two 
> > weeks.
> > My goal was to get out a usable, stable version as quicky as possible.

> It's OK.  I has just downloaded the sources.  Since I left my country, I'm
> now in a new lab on solaris only, without gtk and with a 5M quota :(, I
> can't test it now.  I'm currently installing a LinuxPPC on a G3 in another
> lab :))), so I will try your code as soon as possible.

Just thought to let you know,
