- Note: 'Andy McFadden's Toolbox' currently contains the following items:
- xsg: a tool for server gods that allows them to change owners of planets,
- ship states, and lots more.
- gw: a tool to allow people to play netrek through an Internet firewall.
- trekhopd: Similar to gw, but netrek-specific and more secure.
- pledit: a tool to manipulate player databases.
- He also developed the UDP protocol for netrek. Donations for his shrine
- are being accepted even as we speak.

- Comments:
-
- scam.Berkeley.EDU: Directory is /src/games/xtrek. In addition
- to netrek source, this site also has source for Xtrek 6 (the X11
- version) and Xtrek III (the X10 version). Netrek source and
- binaries are in /src/games/xtrek/netrek. The binaries here are blessed.
- There is a binary only for Decstation 3100s. The source will work on
- cyborg nights, and this is where to go to get the code you'll need for
- building your own cyborg. The source for the standard server is here.
-
- ftp.cis.ksu.edu: Directory is /pub/Games/netrek. There are KSU-style
- and bronco-style binaries for sun 3's and 4's. Send your whole mail
- address instead of just your login as 'Password:'. There is also
- source for the KSU 'GalaxyTrek' server, which supports the Galaxy
- class ships, and source for the Galaxy client. The latest copy
- of the FAQ and this server list should be there. Andy McFadden's
- Toolbox is here. The bronco server distribution has recently been added.
- There is a UDP binary for Sun 3's and 4's and the UDP server and client
- code. There is also a tar file containing a font to use as an italic
- font (for neutral planets and team members). The official INL server
- code and the INL rulebook are here.
-
- pittslug.sug.org: Directory is /pub/netrek. The binaries here will work
- anywhere. There are UDP and conventional blessed binaries for Decstation
- 3100s, Sun 3s and 4s, NeXT's, and MIPS's. The source for the UDP client
- and the UDP server is also here. Andy McFadden's Toolbox is here.
- XnetrekM, a Motif front end for METASERVER (by Tedd Hadley) is here.
-
- gs69.sp.cs.cmu.edu: Directory is /usr/jch/netrek, but the server should
- be smart enough to drop you there when you log in. Send your whole mail
- address instead of just your login name or else the server will rudely
- close connection on you. The collected wisdom of CMU xtrek players lies
- here, along with the latest version of this server list, a sample .xtrekrc,
- hints on how to play the different ship types, and lots of other useful
- information for players. There is also help here for people trying
- to set up a server, and a list of common problems and their solutions.
- There is a patch for turning the standard client code into an information
- borg. The bronco server code is also here in the code directory.
- There's a ton of stuff here, really; check out ChangeLog for recent
- changes. This archive is available over AFS
- (cd /afs/cs.cmu.edu/user/jch/netrek) and WAIS (gourd.srv.cs.cmu.edu,
- port 6000, name netrek-ftp).
-
- b62103.student.cwru.edu: Directory is /pub/games/netrek. The binary
- here is for NeXT computers, and specifically for NeXT's running
- MouseX or Co-Xist (NOT NeXTstep). The binary is now blessed and UDP,
- so it can be used on any server. The source will work on NeXT's or
- any other color machine that has fewer than 8 color panes.
- A NeXT port of 'sunborg' is also here. This FTP site is down
- until 8/25 or thereabouts.
-
- ftp.iastate.edu: Directory is /pub/netrek. There are versions of
- Scout Popcorn's solarisborg for decstation 3100's, NeXT's and Suns,
- a version of the Pig borg for decstation 3100's, and patches to set
- up a server like tbird.cc.iastate.edu. Pretty much anything that is
- at any other FTP site can be found here, somewhere.
-
- iacrs2.unibe.ch: Directory is /pub/aix/netrek. There is source here that
- contains the modifications necessary to get netrek to run on IBM
- rs6k/AIX (the standard code, the galaxy code, and the BEEF information
- borg code). xsg code is here, also, as is the source for ck_players.
- The source for the Scam server and client are here, as well as
- source for the Aix server and client. There are also sample
- .xtrekrc's and the latest server and FTP lists.
-
- sgi.com: Directory is now /sgi/src/netrek. There is a binary and source
- for SGI Irix 4.0 or later here. If you're not running 4.0, this will
- not work.
-
- ocf.berkeley.edu: Directory is /pub/netrek. There are blessed galaxy
- binaries here for Sun 3's and 4's and HP Apollos (I believe most
- of the galaxy clients on this list are not blessed).
-
- cad.ics.uci.edu: Directory is /pub/netrek. There is a binary here for
- the UDP client (version 1.0) for sun 3's, 4's, and MIPS's.
-
- ftp.coe.montana.edu: Directory is /pub/mirrors. There are mirrors here
- of gs69, pittslug, and ftp.iastate.edu.
-
- ftp.informatik.uni-rostock.de: Directory is /pub/games/xtrek. The source
- for the KSU galaxy server is here, along with some sample xtrekrc's.
-
- ftp.ulowell.edu: Directory is /pub/netrek. The source for a VMS
- client and VMS server are here, as well as an unblessed VMS client
- binary.
-
- nic.unh.edu: Directory is /pub/submissions. A blessed binary for
- VAX Ultrix 4.2 is here.
