+xmine is an X11-based version of the popular PC game Minesweeper. The
+object is to place flags on mines on the game board without exposing
+them.
+
+xmine is freely redistributable.  It's mostly Xlib-based, but it
+requires Motif libraries for the menus.
+
+Author: Paul Falstad (pf@z-code.com)
+===
+
+This version of xmine is based on Paul Falstad's version 1.0.3, as
+published in comp.sources.x. It has been heavily munged to work
+without OSF/Motif.
+
+Almost everything needed was already in the Athena Widget Set, with
+the exception of a Canvas Widget (or DrawingAreaWidget in Motif
+terms).  Hence i have included a copy of the Canvas Widget of the Free
+Widget Foundation, only slightly modified to take the #include's from
+the current directory. If anybody is unlucky with the GPL conditions
+applying to the FWF code, she is free to drop in own versions of a
+Canvas Widget (really not much of code).
+
+I originally intented to #ifdef Paul's version for use with the Athena
+Widget Set, but realized that this would have resulted in too much of
+spagghetti code. That's why i hacked a separate source out of it. I
+cleaned it up a bit, so it will compile now without complaints with
+the -Wall flag set under gcc.
+
+Since the game itself has some 3D look, linking against the famous
+Xaw3d library is highly recommended.
