Pilot Mines is a little freeware application, modelled after an X11
minesweeper clone (which in turn was modelled after the original MS game).

The controls are fairly easy (if you know the game): tapping on a covered
field will uncover it (like the left mouse button in the original game),
tapping on an uncovered field does the same as pressing the middle mouse
button in the original game, tapping on a covered field while pressing the
page up or page down button toggles flagging that field (that's what the
right mouse button does).

Thanks to Dylan Ginsburg <dylan@mailzone.com> for suggesting another
controls scheme: instead of using the page up/down keys all the time, the
first tap on a covered field will flag it, the second will uncover it.
Pressing the page up/down key while tapping a covered field toggles the flag
as before. This scheme is selectable via preferences menu (it's called
Dylan style controls :-).

The program source is supplied, in case anybody is interested in this four
day hack -- I've actually found out how to connect gdb to xcopilot (see the
comments for the Show() function :-). The Makefile and .rcp file is setup
for use under Unix, you probably have to change things to make it work under
Windows.

There is some sort of locale support: you can compile Pilot Mines as german
or english version. Simply set the LANGUAGE variable in the Makefile.

mine-en.prc	is the english version of the program,
mine-de.prc	the german version.
mine-fr.prc	the french version.

Have fun with it,
Thomas
