NAME
     xbill - save your computers from Wingdows [TM] virus

SYNOPSIS
     xbill [-l level] [--gui gui] [--sizesize] [-v] [-h]

DESCRIPTION
     Ever  get	the feeling that nothing is going right?  You're a sysadmin, and
     someone's trying to destroy your  computers.   The  little  people  running
     around the screen are trying to infect your computers with Wingdows [TM], a
     virus  cleverly  designed to resemble a popular operating system.	Your ob-
     jective is to click the mouse on them, ending their potential  threat.   If
     one of the people reaches a computer, it will attempt to replace your oper-
     ating system with the virus it carries. It will then attempt to run off the
     screen  with your vital software.	The game ends when only 1 (or 0) of your
     computers are being productive.  Additionally, some computers are connected
     with network cables.  When one computer on a network  becomes  infected,  a
     spark  will  be  sent  down  the cable, and will infect the computer on the
     other end when it reaches there.

     Clicking the button on one of the little people will cause it to cry out in
     pain and melt (id software eat your heart out!), dropping the stolen os  if
     it  is  carrying  one.  If a computer is running Wingdows or is temporarily
     off, the os can be dragged back to the computer (or another  computer  com-
     patible  with  that  os).	 To extinguish a spark, drag the bucket of water
     from the upper left corner onto it.

     The status bar at the bottom tells the following:
	     Number of Bills on/off the screen
	     Number of Computers running their OS/off/Wingdows
	     Level
	     Score

OPTIONS
     -l n   Start at level n.

     --gui gui
	    Use a specific front end.  The possible values are gtk,  motif,  and
	    athena.   Note  that  some of these may not be compiled into the bi-
	    nary.

     --size size
	    Play on a field of size x size, instead of the normal 400x400.  size
	    must be larger than 400.

     -v     Print version number and exit.

     -h     Print help and exit.

     When using the GTK gui, all standard GTK options are supported.  When using
     the Athena or Motif GUI, all standard X Intrinsics options are supported.
