The .NA header promises information on "Clients which communicate well with the Empire4 Server". The page doesn't really deliver. It talks about client support for asynchronous notifications. It stopped listing separate client projects in 4.0.7 (1997). Not mentioning such clients isn't just outdated, it's actively misleading. Perhaps an up-to-date info page on clients would be useful, but I can't write one right now. Delete. Loses a bit of information for client developers that was tacked on in 4.0.7: pointers to dump commands, and an explanation of timestamps. I trust client writers can find "info xdump" without this.

|
|
The pdump command displays all information on
|
|
some or all of your planes.
|
|
pdump is a combination of plane and pstat.
|
|
Each plane's information is printed on one very long line.
|
|
Fields are separated by a single space.

This command is designed to be used for input to an empire tool
|
|

In the syntax of the pdump command
|
|
<PLANES> are the planes on which you wish information,
|
|
[<fields>] are the fields you wish to dump.
|
|
If no fields are specified, all fields are printed.

(see \*Qinfo Syntax\*U).
