     NAME
          xfortress - game for X

     SYNOPSIS
          xfortress [ any standard X-options ]

     GAME BASICS
          you must beat your opponent by having the main part of the territory.
          There are three fortification levels, to obtain the control over one
          square you must have more influence on it than your adversary. if you
          have more influence than your opponent on a square occupied by him,
          his castle is destroyed.
          You can find more informations on the web
          http://www.netsurf.org/fortress/rules.html
          REMEMBER : you must have more influence than him at the end of the 21
          turns !!! Do NOT try to kill him every time. it can cost you the
          victory !!

     BOXES
          PLAY : forces the computer to play
          SINGLE / TWO : show the mode : one or two players. you can change the
          mode by clicking in the button box.
          RESET : restart the game.
          WARN / NOWARN : show the state of the warn indicator.  when set, the
          warn option allows you to see when a castle is about to be taken : it
          closes its door. It is helpful because it is quite difficult for an
          average human to have a quick look over all the castles.

     STRATEGY
          You may notice that sometimes it plays really bad in the end.  It must
          be an illusion! It is only that he found that it will win by playing
          here, it doesn't search the best move at the end, only the one which
          makes him win.  Good Luck !!

          remember that I played this game when I had an Apple II (tm), so I
