.SS NAME
\fBBygfoot\fP \- a football management game for Linux and other Unices.
.SS SYNOPSIS
bygfoot [\-e|\-\-editor] [\-d dir] [\-f file] [\-u|\-\-update] game
.SS DESCRIPTION
This man page documents version 1.6 of \fBBygfoot\fP. \fBBygfoot\fP is a 
small and simple football (a.k.a. soccer) manager game featuring some of
the world's most important leagues and cups. You manage a team from one 
such league: you form the team, buy and sell players, get promoted or 
relegated and of course try to be successful.

The game is deliberately kept simple. Players have only one value that 
reflects their playing ability, namely their skill value (they have 
some other values, though, like age or position). The only thing that 
you have to do besides managing your players is to look after your 
stadium: keep / make it safe and see that you have enough capacity.

Because of the simplicity of the game, and because most buttons have
tool\-tips you won't need much help while playing.

.SS OPTIONS
\-d [dir] \- allows you to choose another directory to search for
pixmaps and text\-files. Default directories that are searched are
$HOME/.bygfoot, ./support_files and possibly (depending on the package
format you have) /usr/local/share/bygfoot/support_files.

\-f [file] \- allows you to choose a custom country file instead of one
of those included with your \fBBygfoot\fP release. You can omit the full
path if the file's in $HOME/.bygfoot/text_files.

\-e \-\-editor \- allows you to start directly the team editor.	

\-u \-\-update \- starts the Bygfoot Online Update Frontend (available
in versions higher than 1.7.0 rev2.

[game] \- allows you to load directly a previously saved game. You can omit the full
path if the file's in $HOME/.bygfoot/saves.

Any other argument is interpreted as [game].
