       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 _c_i_v_s_e_r_v_e_r(6)

BBUUGGSS
       civclient only works with the real  Athena-widget-library.
       Linking  with Athena replacement libraries, such as Xaw3d,
       causes crash at runtime.
