-
- In order to form a more perfect games archive, I have placed a copy of
- the games that were distributed on the X11R3 tape and that have been
- posted to comp.sources.x into the games archive on saab. There is also
- a copy of the latest version of xtank (which now runs with no
- modifications on a Sun).
-
- All of these games have been added to the Index file and are available
- via uucp just like the games posted to this newsgroup.
-
- If you are looking for a ftp source, uunet.uu.net (amoung other sites)
- maintains an archive of comp.sources.x.
-
- As a reminder, X-Windows only games are posted to comp.sources.x. Games
- that have multiple display capablilities, of which X-Windows may be one,
- should be posted here.
