+# Caution
+
+This readme is very old, so I will update it later.
+
+# How to install
+
+## UNIX
+
+Download source archive and try...
+
+> tar -zxvf hengband-x.x.x.tar.gz
+> cd hengband-x.x.x
+> ./configure --disable-japanese
+> make install
+
+Substitute the version number to x.x.x.
+You need --disable-japanese option of the configure for English version.
+If you are a super user, --with-setgid=games option works.
+then try
+
+> ./hengband -- -n<number of windows> ## for normal ASCII graphics
+
+ or
+
+> ./hengband -g -- -n<# of windows> ## for 8x8 tile graphics
+> ./hengband -g -- -b -n<# of windows> ## for Bigtile graphics
+> ./hengband -g -- -a -n<# of windows> ## for 16x16 tile (need heng_graf.tar.gz)
+
+ to play.
+
+You can change game windows' font, location, and size, by environment
+variables.
+
+Ex.
+
+> setenv ANGBAND_X11_FONT '-*-*-medium-r-normal--24-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1'
+> hengband -- -n
+
+Then font size will be changed.
+
+You can set ANGBAND_X11_FONT_n for specific window which have window number n.
+
+Location of windows are ANGBAND_X11_AT_X_n, and ANGBAND_X11_AT_Y_n.
+Size of windows are ANGBAND_X11_COLS_n, and ANGBAND_X11_ROWS_n.
+
+
+## Windows
+
+Download the binary archive for Windows.
+Unzip it, and click hengband to play.
+
+The makefile.bcc was changed again.
+If you want to compile from the source with borland compiler (BCC),
+Comment out options for japanese; 'JP_OPT = ...' and 'ANGBAND_RC = ...'
+in makefile.bcc, and un-comment the line 'ANGBAND_RC = ang_eng.rc'.
+
+
+# Basic for Playing
+
+ We recommend that you go to the Yeek cave next to your starting position
+in the town of Outpost. Although the King of Yeeks at the lowest level is a
+fierce enemy, the rest of the cave should be fairly safe. Once you complete
+this dungeon, you will be strong enough to leave Outpost in search of greater
+adventures. Carry lots of food and fuel, for the journey can be a long one.
+Since this world is very large, it is convenient to go into global map mode by
+pressing the '<' key, and then return to local map mode by '>' key when you are
+at the destination. When in the wilderness, stay in safe grids such as roads
+or plains; seas and lava fields are best avoided for a while.
+ Many towns and dungeons await you; good ones to explore early on include
+the orc caves and the Labyrinth. To the northeast of the town of Morivant,
+near the center of the map, is the dread dungeon of Angband. It is home to the
+Serpent of Chaos, whom you must kill in order to win the game.
+
+
+## Commands
+
+ Please read on-line help (Press the ? key in the game) for full
+information of the game. Here are only descriptions of basic commands.
+
+ The following section lists most commands, and the less frequently used
+ones may be accessed by pressing the return key, or (if using the original
+keyset) the 'x' key, to bring up the command menu. Almost any command may be
+chosen from the main menu. "(R) Rest" can be performed by pushing 'R' (in
+uppercase). "Look around (l/x)" can be performed by pushing 'l' in the Original
+keyset, and by pushing 'x' in the Rogue-like keyset.

+## Inscriptions
+
+Below, only the new features in Hengband are explained.
+
+* You can inscribe on objects with "@ma" or '@'+<any command letter>+<any tag>. Then, type these alphabet letter in 'm' command to cast from the spellbook.
+* The inscriptions "@1" or '@'+<any tag number> make the objects able to be used by pressing <tag number> key in any command. Any alphabet key cannot be used as a tag in this form.
+* You can inscribe on *identified* items with "%" or "%all". Then, "%" or "%all" is automatically replaced by strings which describe the item's abilities.
+** Example: You inscribe with "%all" on a pair of gauntlets of power which provide resistance to fire. The description will look like {St;Fi} which means bonus to Strength and resistance to fire. If you inscribe it with "%", its description will look like {Fi} which means its random added ability is resistance to fire.
+
+## Auto pickup/destroy
+
+Hengband offers two different methods of auto-pickup/destroy.
+
+### Powerful method
+* Hengband offers a very powerful auto-pickup/auto-destroy system which you may customize. Press * '_' key to enter edit mode. Please read the file "autopick_eng.txt" about the syntax.
+
+### Easy method
+* Since the powerful method is slightly difficult to use effectively, there is another very easy option. you can turn on
+* the destroy_items option and/or the always_pickup option to use this method. These options are located in (6) Easy Auto-Destroyer Options and (1) Input Options in the Set options ('=') command.
+
+## Tile graphics, Big tile, and Big screen
+
+### Tile graphics
+
+ To use graphics mode, choose it from menu for Windows and Mac, or
+ use -g option for Linux. There are 8x8 size old tile and 16x16 size
+ Adam bolt tile, and you can change from menu for Windows and Mac, or
+ use -- -a option to use 16x16 tile for Linux. Since source archive
+ doesn't include 16x16 size tile, you need to download the
+ heng_graf.tar.gz.
+
+### Big tile (Double-width tile)
+
+ In the Big tile mode, graphic tile have double width, and become
+ square. You can choose Bigtile from menu for Windows and Mac, or
+ use -- -b option for Linux.
+
+### Big screen
+
+ You can resize each window using mouse, which allow you to have
+ terminal windows larger than 80x24. On linux, it's convenience to
+ use environment variables: ANGBAND_X11_COLS_0 and
+ ANGBAND_X11_ROWS_0.
+
+## Play Record
+
+Play record will be written to a file named 'playrec-<character's name>.txt'
+in the same directory as your user preference file. It is in ~/.angband/
+Hengband/ for UNIX, or hengband/lib/user/ for other OS.
+'|' command displays play record in the game.
+
+## World score
+
+When You die, or retire, you can register a score to the world
+score sever through the Internet.
+However, please do not register a score, if you have cheated
+by modifying data or source files, or by restoring from a backed
+up savefile.
+
+The score server is here:
+ http://hengband.sourceforge.jp/en/score.html
