Engarde v1.0
by Bill James, 1992
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
This game was written in C, compiled by the SUN C compiler (cc), and
uses X11R4 and OSF/MOTIF v1.1 function calls. The current list of
architectures under which it has been run are:
Sun SparcStation (1,2,SLC,ELC)
Hewlett-Packard Series 9000/300
Hewlett-Packard Apollo Series 700
Some lines you may want to add to your .Xdefaults are:
EnGarde.geometry: 700x500+100+100
EnGarde*Menu*fontList: -adobe-helvetica-bold-o-normal--17-120-100-100-p-92-iso8859-1
EnGarde*Message.fontList: -adobe-new century schoolbook-medium-i-normal--17-120-100-100-p-92-iso8859-1
EnGarde*HelpText.fontList: -b&h-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-normal-sans-17-120-100-100-m-100-iso8859-1
EnGarde*HelpOk*fontList: -adobe-new century schoolbook-medium-i-normal--17-120-100-100-p-92-iso8859-1
EnGarde*About*fontList: -sony-fixed-medium-r-normal--24-170-100-100-c-120-iso8859-1
NOTE: the HelpText.fontList font MUST be fixed width.
NOTE: the geometry MUST be bigger than 200x200 for the game to
work correctly, you'll want it bigger if you want it
to look good.
If you don't have the fonts listed, feel free to change them.
NOTE: changing other resources has not been tested, so if it doesn't
work, send me a suggestion about adding that to the list of changeable
resources.
