ABOUT XTROJKA
This is the first X-program I wrote, so don't be angry if it doesn't
conform to the standard (if there is any, by the way).  It's based on
an old game I wrote back in 1989 for the PC, and I ported it to X to
find out some more about widgets and things like that. I tried to make
the user-interface look like that of the Mac, although it lacks the
"look-and-feel" (so they can't sue me :-).


PLAYING
The aim of the game is to control and place falling blocks so that you
get three patterns or colors in a row, horizontally or diagonally. These
patterns then disappear, the above blocks collapse and you get points.


INSTALLING
Before installing, adapt the directory names in the Makefile to your
system. For this program you need X11R5.

- To make xtrojka, simlpy type 'make'.
- To install it, simply type 'make install'.
- To clean up the directory from unneeded stuff, type 'make clean'.
- With 'make tar' you can make a tar file of xtrojka.
- To ship xtrojka, type 'make ship'.

It wasn't tested extensively under different environments. It runs for
sure on the following two configurations:

- SparcStations running SunOS 4.3 or Solaris 2.3
- Sun386i systems running SunOS 4.2
- Linux boxes
	
It's interesting to put the highscore file in some network shared
directory. When playing, track is kept of new high scores of other
players on the network. Beware: the locking mechanism is poor. It
sometimes goes wrong, but only warnings are given. You can turn of
locking, by unsetting the -DLOCKING flag in the Makefile.

If you had to change major things in the Makefile or the source-code, to
make it running on your system, PLEASE mail the changes to me, so that
the versions are managed centrally and I can keep them up to date. Mail
them to one of the addresses below. 

	maarten@djoe.iaf.nl

Have phun and feel free to mail what you think of this program!
