Welcome to Crystal Cave Adventure!
**********************************

About the game
==============

This game is based on, and was intended as a sequel to, the adventure game
developed by Willie Crowther at Stanford.  The original FORTRAN author of
this version is unknown.

The game plays a lot like Adventure, except for a slightly smarter command
parser, and a serious attempt to punish you for knowing anything you may
have learned from Adventure.

History
=======

This version was recoded in C from the original FORTRAN and ported to the
UNIX PC by Kevin O'Gorman <kevin@kosman.uucp> around January 1, 1986.

I ported it to an IRIX box in November 1993, and that's where it sat for
many years, until I noticed that it seemed to have vanished from the net
completely (at least, Google couldn't find any trace of it).  So I tarted
it up and released it into the wild again.

Installation
============

See the INSTALL file for details.  But basically it boils down to:

    ./configure
    make
    make install

Copyright
=========

From Kevin O'Gorman's original README:

  This program was translated from a UNIVAC FORTRAN program which bore a
  remarkable resemblance to the original Crowther & Woods Adventure
  code.  Neither one bore any Copyright or Authorship notations, so I am
  presuming all this is in the public domain.  I assert no rights to it,
  since I don't feel like claiming rights I wouldn't feel like defending
  in any case.
