BUILD INSTRUCTIONS
------------------

Though written under SunOS, it should compile OK on most flavours of unix.


USAGE
-----

galax [-noshm] [scale]	- Use scale to magnify and impact overly fast servers.
			  Use -noshm as well if your server is still too fast
			  to disable MIT-SHM usage.  (Note shm usage will be
			  disabled if your server doesn't support it anyway).

GALAX KEYS
----------

Z			Left
C			Right
.			Shoot
Q			Quit (from title page), or quit back to title page
P			Pause while playing


INSTRUCTIONS
------------

Shoot everything that looks vaguely ET shaped.


NOTES
-----

galax switches off auto repeat to enhance the keyboard reading when running.
Auto repeat is re-enabled when you exit the game cleanly from the title page.

If you kill it mid-game, auto repeat will still be off.  It can be re-enabled
from the shell with 'xset r on'.



Have Fun.
