+client.c:
+
+Also included is the source for a client. This client.c program is
+designed to fake being a web browser. It sends the expected requests to
+the web server over a network socket connection and displays the results
+as text rather than graphically displaying the results. In the code you
+will have to change the two lines as below to match your web server or
+nweb server. See README.client for instructions. The client.c source
+code can be found in the /usr/doc/nweb-<VERSION> directory.
