Please read the provided help (once the game is running) for more on this. * What do I need to run this game? You need a SPARC machine running sunOS 4.1.3 (that's the only Unix machine I currently have access to. Sigh!) and Xwindows. * I wanna install it now!? Execute the following commands: uncompress chkubba.sun4.tar.Z tar -xf chkubba.sun4.tar cd chkubba You will get two files: Chkb and chkbGame. - Chkb: This is the Xdefaults of the file. You need to put this file in a directory listed in your XFILESEARCHPATH path. If you are confused by this, just put Chkb in your home directory that should do the trick. - chkbGame: This is the game per say (executable). Make this file executable and run it.

K2B 8G1. Canada. ph: (613) 765-4730. * Background: The game is one of the variants of a very popular game in the mediterranean region. The purpose of writing the game was threeforld: first, I wanted to play one of my favorite childhood games against the computer. Second, I wanted to learn how to program in X/Xt/Motif. Third, I really hope that it becomes a very successful game around the world. I did the game in my scarce spare time, so I hope that the quality will still meet your standards.
