More 0.91.9 files released




 What follows is an updated README for 0.91.9.  The crossfire-0.91.9.tar.gz is
unchanged from the one that was released about a week ago.  The change is that
I have made up an arch archive for this version, and created a new lib version
that replaces the lib of 0.91.9 (this will fix the missing archetypes problem
seen in 0.91.9)


NOTE: Version 0.91.9 is really only a developers version - it was mainly
released so that everyone who is working on the code is working with the
same version.  However, 0.91.9 probably is not any more or less bug ridden
than previous versions, and can be used for normal play.

There are three separate tar archives in the Crossfire 0.91.9 distribution:

sums (bsd)  filename
61818   645 crossfire-0.91.9.arch.tar.gz
25473   160 crossfire-0.91.9.lib.tar.gz
04453  1349 crossfire-0.91.9.tar.gz


crossfire-0.91.9.tar.gz contains the actual program code.
See the CHANGES file
in this archive for everything that has changed.  Compiling without the
eutl library is now quite easy, however, doing this means that the new
client/server code is disabled.  Note:  This file has an outdated set of
archetypes - the crossfire-0.91.9.lib.tar.gz has an update set.  You need
to get crossfire-0.91.9.lib.tar.gz in order for 0.91.9 to work (or you can
use an older treasure file.

crossfire-0.91.9.lib.tar.gz:  As mentioned above, this contains an updated
archetypes file that will work with the newer treasure file.  In fact, this
is just a total replacement for the lib directory in 0.91.9.

crossfire-0.91.9.arch.tar.gz contains the unpacked archetype (arch)
directory.  This file is not needed if you just want to compile the
games and play.  The contents of this archive is used to create
the archetypes, bmaps, font, and X PixMap (XPM) files.  You only need
it if you want to add new archetypes, mess around with the existing
ones, or recreate some files (see notes on the diff file above).


Crossfire is avaible on the following ftp sites

Primary:
    ftp.i.net:/pub/crossfire2 (192.243.32.18)
    ftp.ifi.uio.no:/pub/crossfire (129.240.82.2)

Secondary:
    yoyo.cc.monash.edu.au:/pub/crossfire (130.194.9.1)
    ftp.cs.city.ac.uk:/pub/games/crossfire/
    ftp.sunet.se:/pub/unix/games/crossfire (130.238.127.3)
    ftp.cs.titech.ac.jp:/pub/games/crossfire

I uploaded this version to just ftp.i.net - it should be on the
other ftp sites in a short time.

Note:  The ftp.i.net site has two crossfire directories - /pub/crossfire
and /pub/crossfire2  The new source is in the /pub/crossfire2 directory.
