20Command line params:
21
22 -play: Tells the computer to play. Requires a following parameter, either
23 black or white, which tells the computer which colour to play.
24
25 -altdisplay
26 -ad: Tells the computer that you are playing as the white player in a
27 network game. It requires one additional parameter---the display
28 to pop the black player's windows up on. The other display must
29 allow connections, via xhost or xauth.
30
31 Most standard X command line parameters (-geometry, -foreground, etc.)
32work too. There are no 3Dc-specific resources but normal Xt resources
33(foreground, geometry, etc.) work. By default, the muster (main) window's
34resource name is "3Dc"; the board windows are "3Dc board {X|Y|Z}",
35depending on the board.
