CONFIG FILE
     You can place a config file named .foobillardrc in your home directory. The
     file  can contain all possible commandline arguments (without the preceding
     dashes, and one line for each argument).  Commandline parameters are parsed
     after reading the config file, so they override the .foobillardrc settings.

NETWORK GAMES
     To start a network game :

     Hit <ESC> to get to the menu,

     Select  <Network	Game>/<As   Host>   on	 one   computer   and	<Network
     Game>/<Join>/<OK>	on  the  other machine after having set the proper IP in
     <Network Game>/<Join>/<IP>.

     The <Network Game>/<Port> setting must be the same on both machines.

     The IP of the host machine can also be set on the client machine (the join-
     ing one), by adding hostaddr=IP-ADDR in the config file (see below), or  by
     passing it as commandline option: --hostaddr=IP-ADDR

     Starting from menu the host sends its gamestate variables to the client, so
     every  clienside  settings  get overriden by the host (gametype, tablesize,
     player names, ...)

     The data sent between the	two  computers	are  only  the	shot-data,  like
     strength, cue offset and direction. So if the two machines have a different
     internal floating point accuracy, the games may drift apart after a certain
     amount of time.
