New commands may be typed, edited and sent before the data returns from the first command. Exec scripts transfer at full speed, without handshake delays. Logins happen as quickly as possible as well. #### DIRECTORY myxec **** Date: 8 Nov 01:09 From: Ulrich Drepper Subject: My X Empire Client This colour X-windows client is/will be fully graphical oriented.

It also has firewall support. pei is a powerful tool for playing Empire written by Ken Stevens and Sam Tetherow. There are too many features to list here. Suffice it to say that if you're an experienced Empire player, you'll appreciate all of the sophisticated time-saving tools that are built into pei. Download pei now and never reach for your calculator again. #### GZIP pei2.4.tar.gz **** Date: 10 Mar 1996 From: Ken Stevens Subject: pei 2.4 Size: 84K pei 2.4 works with the Empire 3.0 server The major changes in the upgrade from 1.8 to 2.4 are: * pei ie now fully asynchronious, supporting the FLASH and INFORM protocols of the new server. To learn more about the new server, connect to empire.net 7778 1-10/1-10 and type "info Empire2" and "info toggle" * If you're in INFORM mode (see "info toggle") then you'll get beeped whenever you receive a new telegram. If you don't like this, put $beep = 0 in "~/.peirc". * Fixed output redirection for tools (e.g. "simu > foo" works now). * Wrote a C program highlight.c to which you can pipe the output of "sect" to get highlighting to work with pei (see the comments at the top of highlight.c for installation instructions). * "history" command now takes an argument (for number of lines you want to see) * Changed the socket read routines to detect server timeout and EOF. * Coded a complete overhaul of the interrupt handler (what happens when you type ^C). It should now recover much better than before. * Changed environment variables EMPIRECOUNTRY and EMPIREREP to COUNTRY and PLAYER to make it compatable with the standard client. * I have removed readline because it couldn't work with asynch communication. #### GZIP pei2.8.tar.gz **** Date: 23 Jun 22:12 From: Ken Stevens Subject: pei 2.8 Size: 85K pei 2.8 works with the Empire3.1 server. #### GZIP xemp5.1d.tar.gz **** Date: 24 Oct 1995 From: Julian Onions Subject: XEMP 5.1d Size: 513K This is a version of xemp that works with the empire 3 beta server - as well as with other variants (I think anyway). It has a number of changes particularly for ships and land units. I am interested in feedback at the moment to find out what it does and doesn't cope with. I can't promise to make any wishes come true but I will try as I get the time. This version has several portability fixes introduced to the configuration stuff. Anyway, here it is.
