+Purpose
+   X-Tiles is a puzzle. You try to score a large number of points by removing
+   connected sets of same-colored tiles from a playfield (see manpage)
+   X-Tiles serves no purpose whatsoever.
+
+Installation
+   You need a working package of the Icon programming language installed
+   first. Confere ftp://ftp.cs.arizona.edu/pub/Icon for that.
+   Tiles should work as-is with Icon v9.0 and higher. 
+
+   Compile X-Tiles with either icont/iconc as you wish.
+
+   Check that it works.
+
+   Copy the executable and the man page where you want.
+
+Background pictures
+   X-Tiles can use background pictures.  The precise formats it can load
+   will vary with your Icon installation.  It tries to be reasonably smart,
+   but it needs at least 40 colormap entries to be usable in full color 
+   mode.  If it does not work, you may try the -reduced mode, or even
+   -bw.
+
+   Another possibility is to reduce the picture colormap, to say 200 
+   colors. xpaint can do that, for instance (load your picture, and
+   use the Filter/Quantize colors menu.
+
+Legalese
+   X-Tiles is not public domain. It is freely distributable, except
+   for commercial purposes and distributions, in which case you must
+   contact the author about it.
