Klondike --- X-Window solitaire
-------------------------------
by John Heidemann <johnh@isi.edu>


Executive Summary
-----------------

Klondike is a solitaire game for X11.  It's strongly influenced
by the user interface of Klondike for the Macintosh.

Features of klondike include:
	- time-based and Casino-style scoring
	- persistent high score list
	- on-line help

See the "Release Notes" menu item for details about what's new in 
Klondike.


Installation
------------

The quick answer to installation is to type:
	./configure
	make install
And then run /usr/local/games/klondike.

0.  Install either wishx or the wish from Tk-4.1 (or later).
	Standard Tcl/Tk is missing some features I need for Klondike,
	so I originally wrote it using the extended features of TclX
	(using wishx).

	Wishx was great, but not nearly as widely available as
	standard Tcl/Tk.  After some detours (including a perl-5-based
	tclx emulator) tcl picked up some of the missing functions
	and I put together the rest.

1.  Run "./configure".  GNU configure will find wishx and build the
	Makefile.  By default klondike will install over the existing
	version, or in /usr/local/games.

	Klondike has two parts: the executable program,
	some data files, and some man pages.
	Unfortunately there are many reasonable ways to install
	these for games.  We try the best from these choices:

	EXECUTABLE	DATA		MAN		SYSTEM
	P/games		P/lib/games	P/man		Linux/RedHat
	P/games		P/share/games	P/man		FreeBSD
	P/games		P/games/lib	P/man		SunOS
	P/bin		P/lib		P/man		normal programs

	(where P is first /usr/local and then /usr).

	You can override installation in two ways, with --prefix=P
	(which sets P), or with --bindir=BD, --datadir=DD, and --mandir=MD.

2.  Run "make install" to do the installation.
	You may need to run this as root if you're writing
	to directories you don't own.
