Once upon a time, there was a quite nice game on the net;
It was in interactive fullscreen multiuser action game.
It just had one small drawback: It used 'sockets',
a mechanism not available under my Unix V.

Taking the idea, I rewrote a similar game, using
named pipes as an interprocess communication feature.
That game was successfully ported to Unix-III, Unix-V.{2,3},
and even several Xenixes.

To install:
- compile the programs (according to the Makefile),
- start up the serverdaemon-process in the background (this
  process needs root-privileges; it has to be started only once;
  best place is in some /etc/rc-script),
- start the user-processes and have fun! (instructions
  are displayed on the screen).
- send money to me  :-)
- send error-reports to /dev/null  :-)
- send improvements to me !


Hope, you have fun with it!
