1Notes on porting xmille:
2
3 The bitmaps in 'cards' are set up for a color display, they probably
4will not be readable in monocrome without a bit of editing. Also, the
5card display routines insist on color, so those will need fixing as well.
6
7 The major porting headache of mille is roll.c. You'll probably
8have to fix it for your machine, it's terrible now -- but that's what came
9with it and it works on *my* machine...
10
11 I'll cheerfully accept bug reports in xmille, and may even be
12willing to maintain a current version; but I wash my hands of this mess by
13putting it into the public domain, I don't care what you do with it.

25xmille compiles nicely on my Sparc LX running Solaris 2.5. You have to
26cd to the "cards" and "control" directories and run "make" there,
27though. But it will work, I'm happy to point out! BTW, I use gcc to
28compile.

30I haven't cleaned up the mess at all; matter of fact, I've contributed
31to it I'm sure. I threw in some code for enabling the keyboard to work.
32I am going to leave the Makefile's there just the way they are on my machine.
33If you find you need to rerun imake, you may have to tinker with the
34Makefile's to get it to compile- I did. But it shouldn't be too hard.

39P.S. TO get it to run in "Debug" mode, simply rename the executable as
40"a.out" and run a.out. It checks $0, and prints various junk along the
41way.
