The upstream name is 'games', which is a bit generic, I suspect. I've tentatively named the package 'kgames'. > I don't mind co-maintaining but, realistically, I won't be much help.

I've packaged everything in one bundle, even though there are 14 games and a shared library. There are few man pages; not even the rules for each game. I do have text for that from my palm pilot 'patience' application; I can see about putting that into a man page for each game. Just so you know, I've got my original 1990 edition of the 'X Window System Toolkit' book sitting on my desk at present. It's getting surprisingly yellowed with age, but the technical content remains as accurate as ever. Talk about 'legacy software' :-) -- -keith
