                         For <<your operating system>>

     All system-specific files can be found in /src/system.  If you don't 
see the files you expect, it is probably because Sangband is not yet 
ported to your system.

Sangband is currently ported to IBM, Windows, GCU, X11, and GTK.


====== Basic Notes ======

Name:                Sangband  (Skills Angband)
Version:             1.0.0
Date:                October, 2005
Maintainer:          Leon Marrick  (sangband@runegold.org)
Porter:              
Web Site:            http://www.runegold.org/sangband
Newsgroup:           rec.games.roguelike.angband

System Requirements: 
     At least a x386 processor, 2 megs memory, 3 megs hard disk space, and 
a monitor capable of displaying 16 colors and about 640x480 resolution. 
    "You can probably run Sangband on your machine."



====== Installation ======

Unzipping:
     The Sangband installation includes this file, a manual, an executable, 
and a "lib" directory, plus some miscellaneous files.  Check to make sure that 
the following directories are present in your "lib" directory:
apex, bones, data, edit, file, help, info, pref, user, xtra
     If any are missing, create them.


Playing:
     Double-click the executable, choose to start a new character, roll him 
up, and begin play.  The game will display useful help text if you type '?' 
on most screens.


Upgrading:
     Sangband is in active development.  When you see a new version announced, 
or one appears on the web site, you may usually transfer your existing character 
to the new game.
     You make a backup copy of your savefile ("lib/save/yourname"), then copy 
it over to the new version.  If you want to, you can do the same thing with 
your user preference files ("lib/user/yourname.prf" and/or "lib/user/user.prf").
You can also copy your old score file ("lib/apex/scores.raw").
     When satisfied with the new version, you can delete the old one.


Troubleshooting:
     Most players just fire up the game and start having fun.  But you might 
get unlucky.  This section lists problems that players have reported:



Sending suggestions:
     Again, Sangband is in active development; suggestions and reports are 
much appreciated.

Getting help:
     The best place to get tips, hints, information, and suggestions about 
your character is the newsgroup "rec.games.roguelike.angband".
