### kgames-1.0 README file

    This is a collection of games, and some useful widgets which
    have been used in their construction.

    I've tested everything here with the original R6 release, but only
    on a Sparc-10 running SunOS 4.

    The Widgets (Xkw/):

    	Layout		a constraint based geometry widget.  Included in
    			this release is some code purported to make it work
    			with Motif; I cannot test that as I do not have access
    			to Motif.

    	Hand, Cards	Playing card management widget; does all of the
    			nasty redisplay and layout of stacks of overlapping
    			cards.  Cards is a subclass and deals with regular
    			playing cards.

    	Message		Utilities which allow a printf-style interface
    			to the Athena Label widget.

    	Pad		A text display widget; handles scrolling and
    			simple repaint.  More powerful than Label as
    			it optimizes repaint, but it only handles
    			char cell fonts.

    	Thermo		Displays a "thermometer" for indicating a
    			bounded-range value.  Draws tick-marks and
    			numbers.  Handles both vertical and horizontal
    			orientation.

    The Games (everything else).  For rules on how to play them,
    consult Hoyle or just play around and see what they'll let you do.

    	dominos		Double 9 dominos against the computer.

    	kcanfield	Standard Canfield solitare.

    	kcribbage	Cribbage against the computer.  The
    			score keeping widget is not very pretty.

    	kklondike	"Regular" solitaire.

    	kmontana	An interesting single-deck solitaire.  Stolen
    			from the Macintosh game of the same name.

    	kspider		The classic double-deck solitaire.  Probably
    			the most interesting game here.

    	kthieves	40-thieves.  I've only seen this won a few times.

    	ktowers		A perfect-knowledge single deck game.  Nearly every
    			configuration can be eventually solved.

    	mcarlo		Monte-carlo.  A very simple matching solitaire.
    			Written by Dave Lemke

    	reversi		Or "Othello", except that that name is copywritten.

    	slyfox		Any easier double-deck solitaire.  This one includes
    			instructions; see slyfox-rules.
    			Written by Dave Lemke

    	xmille		My first X program.  Doesn't look much like the
    			original anymore, except for the gory pictures.
