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 run-
       ning around the screen are trying to infect your	computers  with	 Wing-
       dows  [TM],  a  virus cleverly designed to resemble a popular operating
       system.	Your objective is to click the mouse on	them, ending their po-
       tential threat.	If one of the people reaches a computer, it  will  at-
       tempt  to  replace  your	operating 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  an-
       other  computer	compatible 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 binary.

       --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.
