This directory contains most of the source code for the CMUnited-97
simulator team.  The only thing that has been omitted is the modified
c4.5 code, since that is proprietary software.  The code comes with 
the following book:

	author="J. Ross Quinlan",
	title ="C4.5:  Programs for Machine Learning",
	publisher ="Morgan Kaufmann",
	address ="San Mateo, CA",year="1993",

Since the code is not complete, you will not be able to compile it as
is.  An executable version is available from our project page (see below).

This directory contains:

+ A Makefile
+ the source code (*.[Ch])
+ this README file
+ a start script (start)
+ CMUnited-97-sim.ps.Z: : an article describing some of the features of
  the CMUnited-97 team  

This code was developed for version 3.x of the RoboCup soccer server.

The point of this code is to help people get past the low-level
implementation details involved in using the soccer server.  You may
use the code, but please keep the copyright notices attached and keep
track of what ideas you are using from this code.

Papers describing our higher level algorithms, including the one in
this directory, are available from our project web page (see below).

We are providing this code as-is, with no support provided.  However,
we would be interested in hearing from you regarding how easily you
were able to compile, run, and use the code.
