**************************************************************************/

		Mex is an arcade style game that enhances your spatial
		awareness.  In short, the object is to not let the rows
		build up at the bottom of the screen.  Very simular to a
		popular arcade style game called Tetris.  Information during
		game execution will explain which control keys are used.





How to install Mex

1)  Unpack all of the archive files into the same directory.
    This should be the directory of final residence for the executable.

2)  While in csh, type: **

       printenv

    and be sure that the environment variable PWD appears and is set to
    the current directory; otherwise, you must modify the Makefile, defining
    PWD explicitly as the full path to the directory in which you have
    unpacked the files.

3)  Type the following command:

       % make
	or
	   % make install

5)  To clean up, you may remove all but the following files:

       mex
       info.file
       mex.hiscores

6)  To play Mex simply type:

       % mex 

NOTES:
    You can just press the "info" button on the right
    control panel to display the info.  You are welcome to
    redefine the blocks used in the game.  They are standard
    cursor (16x16) icons created with the icon editor.

-------------
** I have modified the Makefile to use an explicit path, as this
will generally be installed in a common lib dir, rather than the
directory it is unpacked in. <billr@saab.CNA.TEK.COM>
