ANNOUNCE
********

I'm pleased to announce v1.52 of Oolite for GNUstep.

What is Oolite?
===============

Oolite is a space-sim game that incorporates trade, battles with pirates, 
bounty hunting, secret missions and infinitely more. It features high-
quality sound and smooth, fast three dimensional graphics, originally 
written specifically for Mac OS X using Cocoa and OpenGL, Oolite-Linux 
is a port utilising GNUstep and the SDL game library. And it's free.

Oolite is written by Giles Williams, and ported with the aid of Dylan 
Smith and David Taylor, who were inspired by the work of David Braben 
and Ian Bell with Elite, however this work is an entirely independent 
interpretation and expansion of the game idea. Oolite benefits immensely 
from the creative work of the many people who volunteer their time and 
skills to test the game, create expansion packs, and suggest and make 
improvements to this project.
