If you know the game "Boulderdash" (Commodore C64) or "Emerald Mine"
(Amiga) or "Supaplex" (PC), you know what "ROCKS'N'DIAMONDS" is about.
Getting started
===============
-Just 'cd' to the directory 'rocksndiamonds-*' (Unix) or 'rocks-*' (DOS)
-and type 'rocksndiamonds' (Linux) or 'rocks' (DOS/Windows)!
-This works only on Linux and DOS systems, because the included binary was
-compiled for Linux (i386/glibc) (if you have the Unix package) and DOS
-(if you have the DOS/Windows package).
-If you have another Unix system like HPUX, NetBSD or SUN, you first have to
-type 'make' to compile it.
