NAME
       civclient - The client for the Freeciv game

SYNOPSIS
       civclient [ -options ] [ -toolkitoptions ]


DESCRIPTION
       Freeciv  is  a  turn-based  strategy  game,  in which each
       player becomes  leader  of  a  civilization,  fighting  to
       obtain the ultimate goal: The extinction of all other civ-
       ilizations.

       This is the client program used to connect  to  a  Freeciv
       server - See also civserver(r)

       This  manpage  currently  isn't  supported  by the Freeciv
       authors anymore, and may be outdated  or  inaccurated.  If
       you are a competent and accurate writer and are willing to
       spend the time writing good manpages, if you have the nec-
       essary  knowledge about Freeciv (you may even have to read
       source code sometimes, but the  development  community  in
       the  freeciv-dev  mailing  list  will  surely support you)
       please write a better man page  than  this  one.  You  may
       write  other  kinds of documentation too - a info manual (
       written in texinfo or linuxdoc-sgml ) would be very  good.
       Please  contact  the  package maintainer in order to avoid
       several people working on the same manpage. You  can  send
       eletronic  mail  to freeciv@packages.debian.org (this will
       be  forwarded  to  the  package   maintainer)   or   visit
       http://www.freeciv.org and follow the instructions to join
       the freeciv-dev list.

       line  options  along  with  the  additional options listed
       below.

BUGS
       civclient  only works with the real Athena-widget-library.
       Linking with Athena replacement libraries, such as  Xaw3d,
       causes crash at runtime.
