+Pentagram is a project aiming to create an Ultima 8 engine for use on
+modern operating systems, including Linux, Mac OS X and Windows.
+
+While it is currently possible to finish Ultima 8 using Pentagram,
+not everything is fully working yet. (Save regularly!) In the game
+itself, most notably, the combat AI of monsters is still very limited,
+and there are still quite a few minor things which are not working as
+well as they should.
+
+Optionally, pentagram can use TiMidity++ or fluidsynth for in-game music
+(detected at compile time, must be enabled in pentagram.ini or in-game
+menu).
+
+Pentagram is only an engine. To actually play the game, you will
+need an installed copy of "Ultima VIII: Pagan". Either copy the
+game directory (the one containing u8.exe) to /usr/share/pentagram
+(so that /usr/share/pentagram/u8.exe exists), or edit the 'path=' in
+~/.pentagram/pentagram.ini to point to your existing game directory.
+Pentagram is smart enough to ignore the case of filenames, so U8.exe or
+U8.EXE would also be OK.
+
+YOU MUST OWN THE GAME in order to play it with pentagram. Do not contact
+pentagram's authors or the author of this SlackBuild asking for illegal
+copies of Ultima 8: such requests will be ignored, at best.

+.TH pentagram 1 "29 Oct 2011" "20110229_svn" "Pentagram"
+
+.SH NAME
+\fBpentagram\fR \- A reimplemented engine for the game
+.B Ultima VIII: Pagan
+
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B pentagram
+.RI [ options ]
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B pentagram
+is an engine for playing the game
+.B Ultima 8
+on modern operating systems.
+The files from the original game are required for
+.B pentagram
+to work. Since
+.B Ultima 8
+is a commercial work, this means you must own a
+copy of the original game to legally play it with
+\fBpentagram\fR.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.B \-h, \-\-help
+Shows command\-line option help
+.TP
+.B \-q
+Silence general logging messages.
+.TP
+.B \-qq
+Silence general logging messages and non\-critical
+warnings/errors.
+.TP
+.B \-\-game [gamename]
+Select a game. This option is currently useless, since only Ultima 8 is supported.
+.SH FILES
+.TP
+.B ~/.pentagram/
+Config and savegame data.
+.TP
+.B ~/.pentagram/pentagram.ini
+Configuration. Specifies the path to the game data, among other things.
+The SlackBuilds.org build of pentagram uses a shell script wrapper to
+create a default \fBpentagram.ini\fR if the user doesn't have one already.
+See \fI/usr/doc/pentagram\-@VERSION@/README\fR for full details of the options
+available in the config file.
+.TP
+.B ~/.pentagram/u8\-save/
+Saved games. Not compatible with the original Ultima 8.
+.TP
+.B /usr/share/pentagram
+This is the default location where
+.B pentagram
+looks for the Ultima 8 data files. This directory should contain
+a complete installation of the game, including the file
+.B U8.exe
+(case\-insensitive;
+.B u8.exe
+or
+.B U8.EXE
+are also OK). This location can be changed by editing
+.B ~/.pentagram/pentagram.ini
+.SH CONTROLS
+.SS Movement
+Double\-click with the right mouse button will make the Avatar find a path to the selected spot.
+.br
+Left\-click on NPCs or objects to identify them.
+.br
+Double\-left\-click on NPCs or objects to initiate conversations or use the item.
+.br
+On pressing the right mouse button down the Avatar walks or runs (depending on distance between cursor and Avatar).
+.br
+Pressing right and left mouse button, makes the Avatar jump or while running a running jump.
+.br
+You can also move the Avatar with the keypad. Details are in the keycommands table below.
+.SS Keyboard Commands
+These are the default keyboard commands; they can be changed from the
+options menu in the game, or by creating/editing
+the file \fI~/.pentagram/u8bindings.ini\fR.
+.TP
+.B ~
+hides/restores console. See \fI/usr/doc/pentagram\-@VERSION@/README\fR for
