[Freeciv-Dev] log files

[Rasa Karapandza <rasa.karapandza@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi ,

thanx for the promptly answers.
I'm now able to run game without interaction, but I'm having trouble  
understanding log files.
Where one can find something like log2graph for civ2?
Also is there some good description of log files, and save game  
files. README.scorelog file is not really helpfull? (When I say log  
files I mean civscore and save gmes)
How can one access cvs server?

Sorry for bothering,

Thanx a lot,

Rasa
