Xconq includes an interface to the X Window System. Since it is only for version 11 of X, we will call it X11 Xconq. The interface is graphical, can work with either monochrome or color displays, and is capable of opening multiple displays, one for each player, if desired. It uses the Xt toolkit and Athena widgets.
The usual `make' and `make install' will generate and install the executable and library into `usr/games/bin' and `usr/games/lib/xconq', respectively. (See the file `INSTALL' in the main source directory for more detailed instructions.)
The name of the executable is `xconq'.
The source form of all the documentation is "Texinfo", which is based on TeX but is like HTML in many ways. Texinfo files are readable text files themselves, and there are tools to translate them into various viewing formats.
The standard distribution comes with documentation in the form of HTML files, which you can look at using your favorite Web browser. You can also print them out using the browser.
The next easiest option is to look at the "info" files, ideally with Emacs so as to get the hypertext abilities, but any other text viewer will do, as long as it can handle large (>32K) files.
For printing, if you can find a preformatted version in PostScript(tm), and have a PostScript printer, then you can send that directly to the printer.
To make a nicely printed manual from the sources, you will need a version of TeX. TeX is widely available.
Note that all the information in the manual is in a portable form, so if you have access to another computer system with a faster or easier-to-use formatting and printing setup, you can use that instead.
To begin an introductory game, give the command `xconq -g intro'.
