This game originates by Jiang-Hsing Chu, who has made it
awailable to the net a few weeks ago -

The original code (puzzletool / Makefile.sun) was written to
run under suntools -
The new code (*.bit, xpuzzle.c / Imakefile) compiles and
runs under X11R1 (it has not been tested under X11R2)

For those who like to compare the code of the two window
systems, the original code is still in this distribution
and should still be compilable for suntools

To compile for suntools, use Makefile.sun;
to compile under X11R1 (X11R2 not tested) use the Imakefile 
to create a Makefile and make it ...

Have fun .....

The goal of this game is to move down the largest piece to the bottom in 
minimal number of movements.  It is known that the puzzle can be solved in 
86 movements.  To move a piece, point it by the mouse and press the left
button, hold the left button until you move the mouse to an adjacent empty
square.  Use the middle button to close the frame into the icon format.  If
you want to quit, press the right button.
 
The game works on SUN workstation only.  It is tested in SUN 3/50.
Some ideas on setting up the interface were borrowed from the calctool program
by Rich Burridge.  Have fun.
