SYNOPSIS
     /usr/games/wump


DESCRIPTION

     A wumpus is  a creature living in a cave  with many rooms
     interconnected  by tunnels.   You  move  among the  rooms
     trying to  shoot the wumpus  with an arrow and  trying to
     avoid  being   eaten  by  the  wumpus   or  falling  into
     Bottomless Pits.  There are also Super Bats that may pick
     you up and drop you  in some randomly selected room.  For
     moving  among the  rooms and  shooting arrows,  wump asks
     appropriate questions and follows your instructions.

     After either you kill the wumpus, the wumpus eats you, or
     you fall into  a Bottomless Pit, wump asks if  you want a
     new game.  To quit the  game at any time, press INTERRUPT
     (Alt-Pause) or END OF FILE (Ctrl-D).
