Ever get the feeling that nothing is going right? You're
4
a sysadmin, and someone's trying to destroy your comput-
5
ers. The little people running around the screen are try-
6
ing to infect your computers with Wingdows [TM], a virus
7
cleverly designed to resemble a popular operating system.
8
Your objective is to click the mouse on them, ending their
9
potential threat. If one of the people reaches a comput-
10
er, it will attempt to replace your operating system with
11
the virus it carries. It will then attempt to run off the
12
screen with your vital software. The game ends when only
13
0 or 1 of your computers is being productive. Additional-
14
ly, some computers are connected with network cables.
15
When one computer on a network becomes infected, a spark
16
will be sent down the cable, and will infect the computer
17
on the other end when it reaches there.
19
Clicking the button on one of the little people will cause
20
it to cry out in pain and melt (id software eat your heart
21
out!), dropping the stolen os if it is carrying one. If a
22
computer is running Wingdows or is temporarily off, the os
23
can be dragged back to the computer (or another computer
24
compatible with that os). To extinguish a spark drag the
25
bucket of water from the upper left corner onto it.
27
The status bar at the bottom tells the following:
28
Number of Bills on/off the screen
29
Number of Computers running their OS/off/Wingdows
37
-v Print version number and exit.
39
-h Print help and exit.
41
All standard X Intrinsics options are also supported.
