This is the first (and possibly only) release of Yahtzee.
Yahtzee is also known as dice poker. Full rules are available
in the game by pressing 'b' at any time, and help is
available at all times by pressing '?'.
This version compiles and runs under HCR's Unix System V.3 port
for the VAX, the CDC Unix System V.2 emulation for NOS/VE
called VX/VE running on various Cyber machines, and
Interactive's 386/ix Unix running on a 386 box.
For BSD people the game has been ported to an IBM RT running
BSD 4.3.
Yahtzee is likely to compile and run under anything that claims
to be Unix.
The Makefile will have to be altered, just follow the instructions
in the file.
The high score file is configured in the Makefile and is
created by the first person to run the program. If you want
other people to use the score file chmod(1) the file accordingly.
The program will still function if it can't access the high score
file.
If something doesn't work then send me the problem, or even better
your fix, and something will be done for a later version. The program
has many bells and whistles so if you don't like Yahtzee you can
still have fun discovering them. Note: the shell window code
hasn't been ported to BSD.
Please read the copyright notice and disclaimer in the first
C file, best.c.
have fun,
Stacey Campbell.
