-acm Flight Simulator version 2.0
-
-What is acm?
-------------
-
-Acm is a LAN-oriented, multiplayer aerial combat simulation.  My main design
-objective was to provide source code that could be easily compiled and
-executed on a wide variety of platforms.  To that end, acm is written entirely
-in C, exploiting the programming features of Unix, X11, and the BSD socket
-interface.
-
-Players engage in air to air combat against one another using heat seeking
-missiles and cannons.
-
-Acm exists as two programs.  The first, named "acm", is a small program
-that, when invoked, starts a flight session on a given workstation.  The
-second component, named "acms", is a server process that manages the
-multiplayer environment.  It also manages the flight simulation and
-display management that is required.  Most players will prefer to run the
-acms process on a back-end server system on their local area network.  Players
-at client workstations can then invoke the acm program to begin play.
-
-I play acm using a server that is a Mips RC3240 (rated at roughly 18.5
-SPECmarks).  I get very adequate display performance using a Mips RS2030
-color workstation (10.0 SPECmarks) or an NCD monochrome X terminal.  My
-choice of servers is probably overkill.  I suspect that an 10+ SPECmark
-system could handle a typical mutiplayer load.
-
-This is the second release of acm.  The original version has been ported
-to a variety of Unix derivatives and system architectures.

-What's different with revision 2.0:
------------------------------------
-
-The flight simulation model has been substantially revamped.
-
-Rudder controls have been added.
-
-Monochrome support has been added with the generous help of Glen Dudek
-(dudek@ksr.com).
-
-Filenames have been shortened, where required, to get along with System V
-conventions.
-
-Substantial corrections and enhancements to the portability of this code
-were provided by Johnathan Kamens (jik@Athena.MIT.EDU).  imake can now
-be used to build the entire product tree.
-
-Sun-specific changes were provided by Dave Safford (auvsaff@auvsun.tamu.edu).
-
-A bug that prevented acm from operating with certain window managers
-has been corrected.
-
-Lead Computing Optical Sight (LCOS) support has been added to the
-cannon weapon display.  A reticle (sight) is displayed on the HUD, showing
-a good aiming sight for the cannon.
-
-Cannons will now inflict damage on other aircraft.
-
-Aircraft can now be damaged, but remain airworthy.

-GENERAL NOTES
--------------
-
-This software is divided into two major parts: the 3-D graphics routines
-and the flight simulator itself.  The 3-D stuff is contained in the V
-directory.  V/lib holds the library itself.  V/test contains a program
-that can be used to test your port of the V library.
-
-Fsim contains the remainder of the flight simulator. imake and make files
-have been provided.  The code has a Berkeley tilt to it in many
-places, so people with hybrid OS's will probably want to lean that
-direction when selecting compiling and linking options.
-
-Acm binaries can be installed in your standard games directory.  In addition
-to running "make install" to install the executables, you must run the
-"install-objects" script.
-
-The acm server, acms, must currently be started manually.  It's intended
-that it will eventually be managed automatically by inetd, but that's
-not in the code yet.  I have access to a network that includes a 16+ SPECMark
-server and 12 to 18 SPECMark workstations (i.e. a MIPS 3240 along with
-MIPS 2030 and Magnum workstations) (translate SPECMarks into millions of
-instructions per second by whatever formula you like ..).  I generally 
-rlogin to the 3240 and start the acms process on it and leave that xterm
-window hanging around;  then, from another xterm window, I'll fire off
-the acm command that starts my flying session.  Other players enter the
-game by simply firing off an "acm servername" command.
-
-I'm not saying that acm is a particularly accurate flight simulator. I'm
-not an aero engineer, but I did spend a fair amount of time studying
-several college-level texts on the subject while I was designing this
-software.  This probably doesn't resemble real-time flight simulators
-too much but, again, that's not my line of work.  Comments and
-suggestions to improve this software are welcome.
-
-Several "features" in this revision of the software:
-
-	* landing gear is ignored.  Raise it, lower it; it's
-	  not handled by the software.
-
-	* flaps can be lowered at rediculously high speeds.
-
-	* you can fly through mountains.
-
-	* engines do not flame-out.  Fly really high (and fast enough)
-	  and you can just about get into orbit.  Non-afterburning
-	  engine performance does degrade as altitude increases, but
-	  afterburner performance gives the extra kick needed to fly
-	  much higher than you should be able to.
-

-CREDITS
-
-In the original release, I overlooked several important credits.  The
-input routine at the heart of the acm server is based on code from xtrek
-that was written by Dan A. Dickey, he has provided some valuable help in
-improving the robustness of this code.  The 3-D routines were written by
-me, but are based closely on two valuable articles from the March and
-April 1981 issues of Byte Magazine titled "Three-Dimensional Computer
-Graphics" by Franklin C. Crow.
