        !            17: .SH DESCRIPTION
        !            18: The object of the game
        !            19: .I hunt
        !            20: is to kill off the other players.
        !            21: There are no rooms, no treasures, and no monsters.
        !            22: Instead, you wander around a maze, find grenades, trip mines, and shoot down
        !            23: walls and players.
        !            24: The more players you kill before you die, the better your score is.

        !            35: on the command line by using the \fB-l\fP option.  This command syntax was
        !            36: chosen for \fIrlogin/rsh\fP compatibility.
        !            37: If the

        !            50: how many charges you have left,
        !            51: who's in the game,
