Some of my friends and I are interested in writing a realtime version
of Star Fleet Battles on the NeXT that would take advantage of its GUI
and networking capabilities. In order to get it running we are interested in
investigating the use of the client/server model that such games as netrek
use to do realtime combat types games. Are there any references or anything 
we could read that would help us out in dividing tasks between the client and
server and how the interface works... Any help would be appreciated?

Thanks!
