This directory contains the binaries and data files for aviator,
a multiplayer aircraft flight simlulation program that operates
over an ethernet network and runs on Sun sparcsystems with built
in GX accelerators.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Aviator is commercial software. If you retrieve the current version
you will get the full set of files that make up the aviator program,
but without a proper license that you have to buy you can only use
a demonstration mode of the program. In the demonstration mode you
can use the program only for one minute of flight time.

The file AVIATOR.1.5.1.README contains information about this
acutal version of aviator and how to copy and install it.

The file AVIATOR.1.5.1.man.tar.Z contains the extracted manual files
from AVIATOR.1.5.1 (i.e.: they are also contained in AVIATOR.1.5.1),
in case you want to have a look at the manuals first.

The subdirectory AVIATOR.1.5.1.split contains the file
AVIATOR.1.5.1 splitted down into multiple files. get them all and
"cat * >AVIATOR.1.5.1" to get the complete file.

The subdirectory 1.2.0 contains all files for the version 1.2.0 of
aviator. This is an old version that has no restrictions on its use
but which does not run under the current (4.1.1 or greater)
versions of SunOS. The data files provided with 1.2.0 will not run
with 1.5.1 or vice versa.

This ftp server understands the "reget" command. If copying of
some large file fails in the middle, use reget to continue
copying. Your own ftp must understand the "reget" command too,
which is not the case for the standard BSD ftp program. A
version capable of "reget" can be found under /portal/net/ftp.tar.Z
