  INTRODUCTION

'World of Voom II' is an artillery game inspired by the game 'Tank Wars'. 
It is turn-based and can be played by 1-10 players on a single PC.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
  INSTALLATION (binary package)

Just unpack the .tar.gz file into a directory of your choice:
(replace VERSION with the version you downloaded)

    tar xfz voom_bin_VERSION.tar.gz

'cd' to the created directory, start ./voom, enjoy!

You may need to install SDL-1.2 (www.libsdl.org) if your distribution 
does not provide it. You only need the binary package:

   http://www.libsdl.org/release/SDL-1.2.7-1.i386.rpm 

Otherwise you should be fine. Please contact me if you encounter
any problems during installation (include 'voom' in the subject).
