                         EXECUTABLE DISTRIBUTION


This directory contains the SGI binary, help file and texture maps for
the 3D Mines program. This is a 3D version of the well-known
Minesweeper game which is included in the MS-Windows distribution.
The binary provided here has been complied under IRIX 5.3 (on a
RealityStation with compiler optimisations turned on). To run the
game, just type:

	./mines


The game can be customised in a number of ways; including various
command line options and environment variables. Please refer to the
help file for further instructions (e.g. the File/Help menu option
from within the game, or "showcase -v mines.sho" from the shell). Two
options which are worth briefly noting here are:

	mines -indy     (sets the lowest graphics complexity)

and
	mines -reality  (sets the highest graphics complexity)

(refer to "mines -help" for a list of other command line options).


This distribution (along with the C++ source code for the game) can be

Please send any comments, suggestions or bug-reports to me at the
