        You can't get it running because there _aren't_ any executable
files.

        (I just got it and attempted to get it up and running.)

        You untar the main tar file, then untar the sources file.  Just
then type "make" and you get an executable.

        That then made me the advint executable.   It's very easy and quick.

	Note, when you try to play a game file, do NOT type in the ".dat" 
extension on the command line.

	That is, type

advint onehand

rather than

advint onehand.dat
because the game appends ".dat" and it then won't be able to open it.
