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

 XKOBO is a game for X. The play is quite simple. Your object is to
 destroy all the fortresses. You can control your ship by pressing
 the cursor keys, and shot beams by pressing the SHIFT key.

 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 and type

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

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

* PLAYING

 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 's' (or the right
 mouse button). Pressing 'q' will cause xkobo to quit the game.

* OPTIONS

    -doublesize    The window of xkobo is enlarged. But memory usage
                   is also enlarged.

    -memory        It causes xkobo to reduce memory usage, but slow
                   down (a little). 

    -fit           Use the default colormap. Normally xkobo uses a
                   private colormap. 

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