    F_AUT_Z is based on the table game yahtzee.  F_AUT_Z has been
written to run on Falken BBS systems.  Many of the rules are very
similar to what you'd use in yahtzee.

    The game uses five dice, which are rolled automatically.  You
may either score the roll, choose to re-roll one or more dice.  As
in regular yahtzee only two re-rolls are permitted per turn.  

At the prompt  (S)core  (R)eroll  (H)elp  (Q)uit >  when you select
S or s you'll be prompted to enter how this roll is to be scored.
Select from the score option list either the # or the 'String' name
of how you want to score your roll.  If you make a mistake, you'll 
be allowed to correct it.  When you enter R or r, you'll be prompted 
for the number of dice to re-roll.  This is the total number of dice 
you wish to re-roll.  If you wish to reroll all 5 die, they will all
be re-rolled without further input from you.  However, if you wish
to re-roll less than all 5 die, you will be prompted to enter the #
of each die to be re-rolled leaving a blank space between the #s.

        example:  Die One   Die Two   Die Three  Die Four  Die Five
                    2          4          6         1         4
        (S)core   (R)eroll   (H)elp   (Q)uit > r
        Enter the number of dice to reroll > 3  (Three die are to be
                                                 rerolled).
        Enter the # for each dice to reroll leaving a blank between each #.
        Example 1 2 3 4 > 1 3 4
                            
                       These are the die re-rolled.

When you enter H or h this help file is displayed.  When you enter
Q or q, the game is terminated, and you are returned to the BBS.

  ***NOTE***
  At the completion of game you will be asked if you want to play another
  game.  If you answer 'y' or 'Y', your score will be cleared and a new
  game will start.  However your score from the previous game will not be
  posted to the top ten list (provided it would have qualified for the 
  list.)  This may be changed in future versions, or it may not be.

Enjoy!!!
