* DESCRIPTION

       Xkobo  is  a  single player action game. Your object is to
       destroy all the fortresses.  You can control your ship  by
       pressing the cursor keys (or moving the mouse cursor), and
       shot beams by pressing the SHIFT key (or  the  left  mouse
       button).  The  game  can be paused by pressing the 's' key
       (or the right mouse button).

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

* REQUIREMENT

       Xkobo requires:
 
         1) Unix (BSD, Linux, etc.)
         2) X window system (256 colors or greater)
         3) C++ compiler

       This program has been tested on the following systems:

         *  Linux           + gcc
         *  Sun-OS (4.1.4)  + gcc
         *  BSD/OS          + gcc

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

* INSTALLING

       Edit Imakefile (if you need) and run

           % xmkmf -a
           % make
           % su
           # make install
           # make install.man

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
  
* OPTIONS

       -display displayname
          This option specifies the name of the X server to  use.

       -fit
          This  option  causes xkobo to use the default colormap.
          Without this option, xkobo uses a private colormap.

       -wait value
          This option specifies  the  speed  of  the  game.   The
          default value is 30(msec).

       -doublesize
          This  option  causes  xkobo  to enlarge the size of the
          window.  But memory usage is also enlarged.

       -memory
          This option causes xkobo to reduce memory  usage.   But
          it may make the game slow.

       -cheat
          Cheat  mode. It allows any level to be played, does not
          update the record file.
