			A Note From the Author

	Over the years the games that have wandered across the net
have given me a lot of enjoyment.  Hack, Moria, and all the others.
In part to pay back that debt and to increase the general public
wealth, I've written Hotel.

	Hotel is a boardgame of hotel development, played on a 10x10
board.  Players take turns placing tiles on the board and buying stock
in the hotels they create.  As hotels are merged together, the
stockholders receive merger bonuses, and the winner is the player who
accumulates the most money.  Full instructions are available in the
program.

	The program itself is written in C and has been compiled on a
Vax 750 running 4.3, on a Sun running whatever it is that Suns run
now-a-days, and on a PC clone using Turbo C 2.0.  There are some
dependencies in the code, primarily to account for minor differences
between the Vax and PC versions of curses.

	Hotel also uses Hung Le's "my_wgetstr" function, which adds 
editing capabilities to the curses "wgetstr" function.

	For those of you interested in modifying the code, the
computer players' strategy resides primarily in the file "comp.c".
This code is fairly straightforward and commented, so you should have
no problems in tweaking in your latest and greatest strategy ideas.

	Hotel in both source code and executable forms is Copyright
1989 to Scott R. Turner.  However, most non-commercial uses of Hotel
are acceptable.  See the file "Notice" for full details.

	Have fun.
