+.SH NAME
+battlestar \- a tropical adventure game
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B battlestar
+[
+.B -r (recover a saved game)
+]
+.br
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.I Battlestar
+is an adventure game in the classic style.  However, It's slightly less
+of a
+puzzle and more a game of exploration.  There are a few magical words
+in the game, but on the whole, simple English
+should suffice to make one's desires understandable to the parser.
+.SH "THE SETTING"
+In the days before the darkness came, when battlestars ruled the
+heavens...
+.br
+.nf
+
+		Three He made and gave them to His daughters,
+		Beautiful nymphs, the goddesses of the waters.
+		One to bring good luck and simple feats of wonder,
+		Two to wash the lands and churn the waves asunder,
+		Three to rule the world and purge the skies with thunder.
+		
+.fi
+.PP
+In those times great wizards were known and their powers were beyond
+belief.  They could take any object from thin air, and, uttering the
+word `su' could disappear.
+.PP
+In those times men were known for their lust of gold and desire to
+wear fine weapons.  Swords and coats of mail were fashioned that could
+withstand a laser blast.
+.PP
+But when the darkness fell, the rightful reigns were toppled.  Swords
+and helms and heads of state went rolling across the grass.  The entire
+fleet of battlestars was reduced to a single ship.
+.SH "SAMPLE COMMANDS"
+.nf
+
+	take	---	take an object
+	drop	---	drop an object
+
+	wear	---	wear an object you are holding
+	draw	---	carry an object you are wearing
+
+	puton	---	take an object and wear it
+	take off --	draw an object and drop it
+
+	throw  <object> <direction>
+
+	!	<shell esc>
+	
+.fi
+.SH "IMPLIED OBJECTS"
+.nf
+
+	>-: take watermelon
+	watermelon:
+	Taken.
+	>-: eat
+	watermelon:
+	Eaten.
+	>-: take knife and sword and apple, drop all
+	knife:
+	Taken.
+	broadsword:
+	Taken.
+	apple:
+	Taken.
+	knife:
+	Dropped.
+	broadsword:
+	Dropped.
+	apple:
+	Dropped.
+	>-: get
+	knife:
+	Taken.
+	
+.fi
+.PP
+Notice that the "shadow" of the next word stays around if you
+want to take advantage of it.  That is, saying "take knife" and then
+"drop"
+will drop the knife you just took.
+.SH "SCORE & INVEN"
+The two commands "score" and "inven" will print out your current status
+in
+the game.
+.SH "SAVING A GAME"
+The command "save" will save your game in a file called "Bstar."  You
+can
+recover a saved game by using the "-r" option when you start up the
+game.
+.SH DIRECTIONS
+The compass directions N, S, E, and W can be used if you have a compass.
+If you don't have a compass, you'll have to say R, L, A, or B, which
+stand for
+Right, Left, Ahead, and Back.  Directions printed in room descriptions
+are
+always printed in R, L, A, & B relative directions.
+.SH HISTORY
+I wrote Battlestar in 1979 in order to experiment with the niceties of
+the C Language.
+Most interesting things that happen in the game are hardwired into the
+code, so don't 
+send me any hate mail about it!  Instead, enjoy art for art's sake!
