+Netrek is a multiplayer (up to 16 players) network space battle/conquest
+game, with a Star Trek theem.  Players can command one of several ship
+types (Federation/Romulan/Klingon/Orion) and can band up in teams.  The
+object of the game is, basically, to control the Universe, by capturing
+enemy planets, killing the enemy, etc.
+
+For more information, FAQs and beginners documentation, etc, see the
+Netrek web site at http://www.netrek.org/.
+
+NOTE: This is the "COW3" client.  It has several improvements over the
+older servers -- a flashy 256 color mode, sound support, etc.  Naturally,
+these embellishments require more processing power.  If your system is
+on the sluggish side, you may like the "BRMH" client (also in ports) better.
+
+NOTE 2: This client is distributed in binary form, because it is a
+"Blessed" client, meaning that it has been approved by the "Gods of Netrek"
+and has had an RSA key embedded in it.  You can, of course, compile your
+own client if you wish, but keep in mind that, if you do so, your client
+will be "Un-Blessed" and will probably be kicked out of the official
+servers.  This is to prevent some unscrupulous player from hacking his/her
+client to give him/her superhuman powers ("cyborgs", or "borgs").
+
+NOTE 3: This client, since it is still in development, has an expiration
+date.  The current version of the client will expire on Fri, 4/16/99.
