Authors:

	Donald Woods wrote the original computer Spider on Stanford
	Artificial Intelligence Lab system (SAIL).  It was later ported
	to the Xerox Development Environment.  The card images are
	loosely based on scanned-in images but were largely redrawn by
	the author with help from Larry Rosenberg.  His next port was
	written entirely in NeWS running under Open Windows 1.0.  Most
	of the documentation was written by him.

	Dave Lemke ported the NeWS spider to C and X11 and wrote
	the Athena widget toolkit interface.

	Bruce Martin and Heather Rose wrote the XView toolkit
	interface.  Heather also provided the icon and cardback
	images.


Hints:
	Make the window as tall as possible when playing.  Otherwise
	the game will be forced to resize the card stacks whenever
	is can to make them more visible.

	Use the '?' command for movement suggestions until you learn
	the game.

	Use the keyboard accelerators.

	Don't let the complexity of the Examples scare you away
	from playing.
