Download this file. Then use Aladdin StuffitExpander or a similar
program (PowerArchiver 2000 is by far the best I've ever seen) to unzip
it. This version is slow if you don't have a modern quantity of RAM, but
the other requires an X-server. (It is just on your computer.) This part
can be difficult, so the above option is probably best for you. The one
you downloaded is probably just the source code if it ends with .tar.gz.

Hi _ your site seems to have a bit TOO
much for the unfortunate novice idiot. When
I downloaded what I thought was the game,
I couldn't open the files. So I admit it _ I'm
an eejit.

Now _ I want to start the game. WHAT do I
download, and what does a Win98 PC need
to open whatever I download ? Thanks. _ C.
