YID-SLOTS - The Jewish Name Slot Machine  (c) 1987 by Bob Glickstein


Permission is hereby granted to freely distribute and modify this

The author waives all responsibility for everything.

Yid-slots is a slot-machine-like game in which the windows display not
apples, oranges and cherries, but portions of Jewish names.  There are
three windows; first names, last-name prefixes and last-name suffixes.
Certain combinations pay off according to the file yid-names.  For example,

       Bob Glick stein

pays a very great deal indeed.

The game is invoked simply as "yid-slots"; a single optional
argument names an alternative file to yid-names.

Modify the Makefile to have proper destinations for the GAMEFILE
(the executable) and the NAMEFILE (the data file).  Modify the file
yid-slots.h to contain a definition for the macro FDEFAULT; it should
be the same as the Makefile's NAMEFILE macro.

A bug in this program may require you to use a LineFeed (^J) frather
than a NewLine (^M) when entering lines of data into the program
(namely, your bets).  The rest of the program should be self-explanatory.

Have loads-o-fun.
