.PP
This is an X version of Christer Ericson's `blockade' Macintosh game,
written and put into public domain by der Mouse.
A sliding block game where you push differently shaped blocks onto

aim of clearing the grid of blocks. Comes with 80 different screens
and built-in help.

will pick whichever it likes best among the available visuals
of that class.
.TP
\fB-web\fP <url-prefix>
Specifies webserver mode. In this mode, serves webpages where
the game state is encoded into the URL; the string given will
