    XMAHJONGG 3.7
    =============

    MAKING XMAHJONGG
    ----------------
       You need an ANSI C++ compiler, such as g++, but not C++ libraries.

       Just type `./configure', then `make'. `make install' will build and
    install xmahjongg, its shared data, and its manual page. `./configure'
    accepts the usual options. See `INSTALL' for more details.

       (More details: Give `configure' a `--prefix' option to install xmahjongg
    somewhere other than `/usr/local'. You can also give `configure' the
    `--bindir', `--mandir', and `--datadir' options for more more precise
    control. N.B.: `make install' will place all the shared data files in a
    subdirectory named `$(datadir)/xmahjongg'.)

       If you want to test xmahjongg after compiling it, you'll run into
    trouble since the shared data have not been installed yet. To fix this,
    supply the `-B' option:

    	% make
    	% ./xmahjongg -B ./share --tileset small

    ABOUT XMAHJONGG
    ---------------
       Xmahjongg is a simple solitaire game. The object is to remove all 144
    Mah Jongg tiles from the playing area by matching them two at a time.

       Xmahjongg 2.0 was released in 1990 by Jeff S. Young <jsy@cray.com>. This
    version has been completely rewritten by Eddie Kohler <eddietwo@mit.edu>.

       New features in 3.0:
       * Pretty, round-edged, and colorful Mah Jongg tiles.
       * Multiple tile sets.
       * Undo.
       * Hints let you quickly locate possible matches.
       * Solvable boards by default.
       * A clean button for automatically removing certain kinds of tiles.
       * Aesthetics.
       * A count of matches remaining.
       * No fiddling with the X font path.

       Features 2.0 has that are not yet available in 3.0:
       * Tournament mode.
       * Visible board numbers.
       * A "Same" button. (You can click Undo a lot to get the same effect.)
       * Layout configuration mode.

       Please see the man page, `xmahjongg.6', for information on how to play
    the game.

       Xmahjongg comes with NO WARRANTY, express or implied, including, but not
    limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a
    particular purpose.
