Actually, xtank is probably just a wee-bit nicer, but not in the team-sport
sense.  Netrek encourages team-effort like nobody's business, and that's just
not easy to do.  Xtank isn't client-server based, unfortunately, so you tend to
get games where friends fight each other 'cause they're the ones who organize
the game.

I wonder if UNIX games will ever be able to sell... (hope, hope), 'cause we've
got a hum-dinger we'll have ready in Nov.
