==== Description: ====
The sources are available at :
http://paul.chavent.free.fr/libsyndicate/libsyndicate.tar.bz2
The documentation is available at :
http://paul.chavent.free.fr/libsyndicate/doc/

Summary :
This project aims to provide an interface to the Bullfrog Syndicate data
files (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syndicate_%28computer_game_series%29).
This allow to extract sprites, missions properties, etc. It is written in C++
and compile on unices. This project also provide a documentation written in
Latex that describe the format of files. 

Origin :
A project named freesynd (http://freesynd.sourceforge.net/) is a free
implementation of the game, but the code that access data is obscure, hardly
readable and maintainable. So i had the idea to develop a library that could
be used by many programs (games, level editors for example), and that could
provide a common interface to data.

Usage :
When hobbyist programmer want to develop their game, creating the data part
is not a peace of cake. So this library allow them to concentrate on the
engine and the implementation of some new features (internet game,
fullscreen, etc.).


==== Other Software Required: ====
Dependencies:
The code doesn't need no any third party software. 
There is sample code for using the library that need SDL and the original
game data files to compile and run. 
There is a document that describe the format of the data files that need
Latex and Dia to compile. 
The html documentation of the API needs Doxygen to compile.
