20		24
21	For Windows 9x, you need Visual C++ (or some other ANSI C	25	- Crossfire >= v0.97

23		27	- Coro::Event >= v2.1

		36	- Safe::Hole >= v0.10
		37	- Pod::POM >= v0.17
		38
		39	Furthermore, you will need the following programs and libraries:

33	USAGE
34
35	Crossfire runs on a client/server model. You will also need the
36	client to play. You can either connect to a server someone else
37	has set up, or run your own server and connect to that. The
38	client package has information for connecting to servers.
39
40	To run your own server, you need to make the crossfire binaries and install
41	them, and then run the crossfire program. This now creates a server which
42	you/other people can connect to. The map files will need to get downloaded
43	and installed for the server to run properly. The maps should be
44	unpacked in the $(TARGET)/share/crossfire directory - after unpacking,
45	you should have a $(TARGET)/share/crossfire/maps directory.
46
47	If you plan to run a long term server, you should use one of the scripts
48	provided that will re-run crossfire if it dies for some reason.
