+ XVmines is a simple minesweeper game for X Window System.
+ xvmines creates a rectangle on the screen, divided into equally
+sized cells. Each cell may contain a mine (hence the name xvmines),
+contain a number indicating the number of mines present in the
+8-neighboring cells or be empty.
+ Initially, all cells are covered with tiles. A tile can be
+removed, uncovering the cell below, by clicking the left mouse
+button on it. In addition,a cell can be marked as containing a mine
+by clicking the right mouse button on it. Note however that marking
+a cell as containing a mine does not necessarily mean that the cell
+really contains a mine!
+ Clicking the middle mouse button on a tile, marks it with a
+question mark, acting as a reminder mechanism. The user can use the
+numbers in the uncovered cells to find (or sometimes guess ...)
+which cells contain mines and which do not.
+ A game ends when all cells not containing mines have been
+uncovered and all cells containing mines have been marked, or when
+a cell containing a mine is uncovered.
