Oh, I see. xmj was real bad in colormap handling as I recall from my 8bpp days (it always uses its private colormap...). * The differences are probably similar to the differences * between `xmine' and `xminesweep' ;-) * I'd vote to keep 'em both. Someone might be partial to the * quirks of one v. the other. I don't mind either. They are actually quite different, now that I compared them side by side. However, the pkg/DESCR of xmahjongg is misleading: === Mah jongg is an ancient chinese game usually played by four players with tiles similar to dominos. This is an X windows version for the solitaire game originally seen on the PC and later ported to SunView. It also has a new tournament option. : === This game just uses the mahjongg tiles to play a totally different game than the original (the four-player one). The explanation above is confusing. Satoshi
