-This is dopewars 1.6.1, a game simulating the life of a drug dealer in
-New York. The aim of the game is to make lots and lots of money...
-unfortunately, you start the game with a hefty debt, accumulating interest,
-and the cops take a rather dim view of drug dealing...
-
-These are brief instructions; see the HTML documentation for full information.
-
-dopewars 1.6.1 servers should handle clients as old as version 1.4.3 with
-hardly any visible problems (the reverse is also true). However, it is
-recommended that both clients and servers are upgraded to 1.6.1!
-
-## Installation
-
-Either...
-
-1. Get the relevant RPM from https://dopewars.sourceforge.io/
-
-Or...
-
-1. Get the tarball `dopewars-1.6.1.tar.gz` from the same URL
-2. Extract it via `tar -xvzf dopewars-1.6.1.tar.gz`
-3. Follow the instructions in the `INSTALL` file in the newly-created
- `dopewars-1.6.1` directory
-
-Once you're done, you can safely delete the RPM, tarball and dopewars
-directory. The dopewars binary is all you need!
-
-dopewars stores its high score files by default in `/usr/share/dopewars.sco`
-This will be created by make install or by RPM installation. A different high
-score file can be selected with the `-f` switch.
-
-## Windows installation
-
-dopewars now compiles as a console or regular application under Win32 (Windows 7
-or later). Almost all functionality of the standard Unix binary is retained;
-for example, all of the same command line switches are supported. However, for
-convenience, the configuration file is the more Windows-friendly
-"dopewars-config.txt".
-
-The easiest way to install the Win32 version is to download the precompiled
-binary. To build from source, see the `win32` directory.
-
-## Usage
-
-dopewars has built-in client-server support for multi-player games. For a
-full list of options configurable on the command line, run dopewars with
-the `-h` switch.
-
-`dopewars -a`
-This is "antique" dopewars; it tries to keep to the original dopewars, based
-on the "Drug Wars" game by John E. Dell, as closely as possible.
-
-`dopewars`
-By default, dopewars supports multi-player games. On starting a game, the
-program will attempt to connect to a dopewars server so that players can send
-messages back and forth, and shoot each other if they really want to...
-
-`dopewars -s`
-Starts a dopewars server. This sits in the background and handles multi-player
-games. You probably want to use the `-l` command line option too to direct its
-log output to somewhere sensible.
-
-`dopewars -c`
-Create and run a computer dopewars player. This will attempt to connect
-to a dopewars server, and if this succeeds, it will then participate in
-multi-player dopewars games.
-
-## Configuration
-
-Most of the dopewars defaults (for example, the location of the high score file,
-the port and server to connect to, the names of the drugs and guns, etc.) can be
-configured by adding suitable entries to the dopewars configuration file. The
-global file `/etc/dopewars` is read first, and can then be overridden by
-the local settings in `~/.dopewars`. All of the settings here can also be
-set on the command line of an interactive dopewars server when no players
-are logged on. See the file "example-cfg" for an example configuration file,
-and for a brief explanation of each option, type "help" in an interactive
-server. A subset of the configuration options can also be tweaked via the
-"Options" menu item in the GTK+/Win32 client.
-
-## Playing
-
-dopewars is supposed to be fairly self-explanatory. You should be able to
-pick the basics up fairly quickly, but still be discovering subtleties for
-_ages_ ;) If you're _really_ stuck, send me an email. I might even answer it!
-
-Clue: buy drugs when they're cheap, sell them when they're expensive. The Bronx
-and Ghetto are "special" locations. Anything more would spoil the fun. ;)
-
-## Bugs
-
-Well, there are bound to be lots. Let me know if you find any by
-[opening an issue](https://github.com/benmwebb/dopewars/issues), and I'll see
-if I can fix 'em... of course, a
-[working patch](https://github.com/benmwebb/dopewars/pulls) would be even
-nicer! ;)
