NAME
     pioneers - network implementation of Settlers of Catan

SYNOPSIS
     pioneers [ --server server ] [ --port port ] [ --name name ]

DESCRIPTION
     This manual page documents briefly the pioneers command.

     Pioneers  is  an  implementation of the popular, award-winning "Settlers of
     Catan"  board  game  for  the  GNOME  desktop  environment.   It	uses   a
     client/server  model  for	networked play of between two and eight players.
     You will need to connect to a machine running either pioneers-server-gtk or
     pioneers-server-console to play.  An AI client, pioneersai, is also  avail-
     able.

OPTIONS
     Pioneers  accepts the standard GTK+/GNOME commandline options, and the fol-
     lowing options:

     -s, --server server
	    Hostname of the server

     -p, --port port
	    Portname of the server

     -n, --name name
	    Use this name for the player instead of the  name  in  the	settings
	    file

     -v, --spectator
	    Connect as spectator instead of as a player

     -m, --metaserver metaserver
	    Connect to this metaserver instead of the metaserver in the settings
	    file

     --debug
	    Turn on debugging mode

     --version
	    Show the version and quit

     When  the server and port are both provided, the client automatically quits
     when the connection is broken.

ENVIRONMENT
     The default settings can be influenced with the following environment vari-
     able:

     PIONEERS_METASERVER
	    The hostname of the metaserver.  If  it  is  not  set,  the  default
	    metaserver will be used.

FILES

	    rectory.
