XLeScrabble - X version of the popular board game in french for 1 to 4 players.
**********

To build:
	xmkmf
	make Makefiles
	make

There are two directories of source code. The first to be built is part of
Xc, the Control Panel Widget Set, v 1.3, copyright 1992 by Paul D.
Johnston.  The second is the main XLeScrabble code. This also contains the
BarGraf widget from the Free Widget Foundation.

If all goes well, you should have two executables, xlescrab and xlescrabble in
the src/ directory.


To install:

Copy the dictionary "ODS2.gz", the permutations file
"scrabble_permutations" (needed by the computer player), and the
"xlescrabble.scores" file to wherever you wish to install them.  This
last file will need to be writable by anyone who will be able to run
xlescrabble, so that the highscores and best goes can be stored.

You then need to rename "XLeScrabble.ad" to "XLeScrabble" and place it in
a resource directory, such as /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/, or your home
directory. You will get the error 'Couldn't find resource file
XLeScrabble' if this is not done correctly. Now edit the three lines
near the beginning of this file to indicate the location of the three
required files.

Finally put the two executables in a directory contained in your $PATH
variable.


To run:

Simpy type xlescrabble. This will bring up the setup box which will allow
you to enter the names and displays and other info for the game to wish
to play. Then click on the Start Game button, (or Load Previous if you're
restarting a game). The main program, xlescrab, will then be automatically
called with the appropriate options.

The game is saved after every turn (in "~/.xlescrabble.save" of the
person running it) and can be restarted by running xlescrabble, entering
exactly the same info, and hitting the Load Previous button.

This was a student project, and there are not likely to be any future
releases.

Have fun,

Matt Chapman.
