+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.I Sail
+is a computer version of Avalon Hill's game of fighting sail
+originally developed by S. Craig Taylor.
+.PP
+Players of
+.I Sail
+take command of an old fashioned Man of War and fight other
+players or the computer.
+They may re-enact one of the many
+historical sea battles recorded in the game, or they can choose
+a fictional battle.
+.PP
+As a sea captain in the
+.I Sail
+Navy, the player has complete control over the workings of his ship.
+He must order every maneuver, change the set of his sails, and judge the
+right moment to let loose the terrible destruction of his broadsides.
+In addition to fighting the enemy, he must harness the powers of the wind
+and sea to make them work for him.
+The outcome of many battles during the
+age of sail was decided by the ability of one captain to hold the `weather
+gage.'
+.PP
+The flags are:
+.TP
+.B \-s
+Print the names and ships of the top ten sailors.
+.TP
+.B \-l
+Show the login name.
+Only effective with \fB-s\fP.
+.TP
+.B \-x
+Play the first available ship instead of prompting for a choice.
+.TP
+.B \-b
+No bells.
+.SH IMPLEMENTATION
+.I Sail
+is really two programs in one.
+Each player starts up a process which runs his own ship.
+In addition, a
+.I driver
+process is forked (by the first player) to run the computer ships
+and take care of global bookkeeping.
+.PP
+Because the
+.I driver
+must calculate moves for each ship it controls, the
+more ships the computer is playing, the slower the game will appear.
+.PP
+If a player joins a game in progress, he will synchronize
+with the other players (a rather slow process for everyone), and
+then he may play along with the rest.
+.PP
+To implement a multi-user game in Version 7 UNIX, which was the operating
+system
+.I Sail
+was first written under, the communicating processes must use a common
+temporary file as a place to read and write messages.
+In addition, a locking mechanism must be provided to ensure exclusive
+access to the shared file.
+For example,
+.I Sail
+uses a temporary file named /tmp/#sailsink.21 for scenario 21, and
+corresponding file names for the other scenarios.
+To provide exclusive
+access to the temporary file,
+.I Sail
+uses a technique stolen from an old game called "pubcaves" by Jeff Cohen.
+Processes do a busy wait in the loop
+.br
+.sp
+.ce 2
+ for (n = 0; link(sync_file, sync_lock) \*[Lt] 0 \*[Am]\*[Am] n \*[Lt] 30; n++)
+ sleep(2);
+.br
+.sp
+until they are able to create a link to a file named "/tmp/#saillock.??".
+The "??" correspond to the scenario number of the game.
+Since UNIX
+guarantees that a link will point to only one file, the process that succeeds
+in linking will have exclusive access to the temporary file.
+.PP
+Whether or not this really works is open to speculation.
+When ucbmiro was rebooted after a crash, the file system check program
+found 3 links between the
+.I Sail
+temporary file and its link file.
+.SH CONSEQUENCES OF SEPARATE PLAYER AND DRIVER PROCESSES
+When players do something of global interest, such as moving or firing,
+the driver must coordinate the action with the other ships in the game.
+For example, if a player wants to move in a certain direction, he writes a
+message into the temporary file requesting the driver to move his ship.
+Each ``turn,'' the driver reads all the messages sent from the players and
+decides what happened.
+It then writes back into the temporary file new values of variables, etc.
+.PP
+The most noticeable effect this communication has on the game is the
+delay in moving.
+Suppose a player types a move for his ship and hits return.
+What happens then?
+The player process saves up messages to
+be written to the temporary file in a buffer.
+Every 7 seconds or so, the player process gets exclusive access to
+the temporary file and writes out its buffer to the file.
+The driver, running asynchronously, must
+read in the movement command, process it, and write out the results.
+This takes two exclusive accesses to the temporary file.
+Finally, when the player process gets around to doing another 7 second
+update, the results of the move are displayed on the screen.
+Hence, every movement requires four
+exclusive accesses to the temporary file (anywhere from 7 to 21 seconds
+depending upon asynchrony) before the player sees the results of his moves.
+.PP
+In practice, the delays are not as annoying as they would appear.
+There is room for "pipelining" in the movement.
+After the player writes out
+a first movement message, a second movement command can then be issued.
+The first message will be in the temporary file waiting for the driver, and
+the second will be in the file buffer waiting to be written to the file.
+Thus, by always typing moves a turn ahead of the time, the player can
+sail around quite quickly.
+.PP
+If the player types several movement commands between two 7 second updates,
+only the last movement command typed will be seen by the driver.
+Movement commands within the same update "overwrite" each other, in a sense.
+.SH THE HISTORY OF SAIL
+I wrote the first version of
+.I Sail
+on a PDP\-11/70 in the fall of 1980.
+Needless to say, the code was horrendous,
+not portable in any sense of the word, and didn't work.
+The program was not
+very modular and had fseeks() and fwrites() every few lines.
+After a tremendous rewrite from the top down,
+I got the first working version up by 1981.
+There were several annoying bugs concerning firing broadsides and
+finding angles.
+.I Sail
+uses no floating point, by the way, so the direction routines are rather
+tricky.
+Ed Wang rewrote my angle() routine in 1981 to be more correct (although
+it still doesn't work perfectly), and he added code to let a player select
+which ship he wanted at the start of the game (instead of the first one
+available).
+.PP
+Captain Happy (Craig Leres) is responsible for making
+.I Sail
+portable for the first time.
+This was no easy task, by the way.
+Constants like 2 and 10 were very frequent in the code.
+I also became famous for using "Riggle Memorial Structures" in
+.I Sail.
+Many of my structure references are so long that they run off the line
+printer page.
+Here is an example, if you promise not to laugh.
+.br
+.sp
+.ce
+specs[scene[flog.fgamenum].ship[flog.fshipnum].shipnum].pts
+.br
+.sp
+.PP
+.I Sail
+received its fourth and most thorough rewrite in the summer and fall
+of 1983.
+Ed Wang rewrote and modularized the code (a monumental feat)
+almost from scratch.
+Although he introduced many new bugs, the final result was very much
+cleaner and (?) faster.
+He added window movement commands and find ship commands.
+.SH HISTORICAL INFO
+Old Square Riggers were very maneuverable ships capable of intricate
+sailing.
+Their only disadvantage was an inability to sail very close to the wind.
+The design of a wooden ship allowed only for the
+guns to bear to the left and right sides.
+A few guns of small
+aspect (usually 6 or 9 pounders) could point forward, but their
+effect was small compared to a 68 gun broadside of 24 or 32 pounders.
+The guns bear approximately like so:
+.ne 1i
+.nf
+
+ \\
+ b----------------
+ ---0
+ \\
+ \\
+ \\ up to a range of ten (for round shot)
+ \\
+ \\
+ \\
+
+.fi
+An interesting phenomenon occurred when a broadside was fired
+down the length of an enemy ship.
+The shot tended to bounce along the deck and did several times more damage.
+This phenomenon was called a rake.
+Because the bows of a ship are very strong and present a smaller
+target than the stern, a stern rake (firing from the stern to the bow) causes
+more damage than a bow rake.
+.nf
+
+ b
+ 00 ---- Stern rake!
+ a
+
+.fi
+Most ships were equipped with carronades, which were very large, close
+range cannons.
+American ships from the revolution until the War of 1812
+were almost entirely armed with carronades.
+.PP
+The period of history covered in
+.I Sail
+is approximately from the 1770's until the end of Napoleonic France in 1815.
+There are many excellent books about the age of sail.
+My favorite author is Captain Frederick Marryat.
+More contemporary authors include C.S. Forester and Alexander Kent.
+.PP
+Fighting ships came in several sizes classed by armament.
+The mainstays of
+any fleet were its "Ships of the Line", or "Line of Battle Ships".
+They were so named because these ships fought together in great lines.
+They were
+close enough for mutual support, yet every ship could fire both its broadsides.
+We get the modern words "ocean liner," or "liner," and "battleship" from
+"ship of the line."
+The most common size was the 74 gun two decked ship of the line.
+The two gun decks usually mounted 18 and 24 pounder guns.
+.PP
+The pride of the fleet were the first rates.
+These were huge three decked ships of the line mounting 80 to 136 guns.
+The guns in the three tiers
+were usually 18, 24, and 32 pounders in that order from top to bottom.
+.PP
+Various other ships came next.
+They were almost all "razees," or ships of the line with one deck sawed off.
+They mounted 40-64 guns and were
+a poor cross between a frigate and a line of battle ship.
+They neither had the speed of the former nor the firepower of the latter.
+.PP
+Next came the "eyes of the fleet."
+Frigates came in many sizes mounting anywhere from 32 to 44 guns.
+They were very handy vessels.
+They could outsail anything bigger and outshoot anything smaller.
+Frigates didn't fight in lines of battle as the much bigger 74's did.
+Instead, they harassed the enemy's rear or captured crippled ships.
+They were much more useful in missions away from the fleet,
+such as cutting out expeditions or boat actions.
+They could hit hard and get away fast.
+.PP
+Lastly, there were the corvettes, sloops, and brigs.
+These were smaller ships mounting typically fewer than 20 guns.
+A corvette was only slightly
+smaller than a frigate, so one might have up to 30 guns.
+Sloops were used for carrying dispatches or passengers.
+Brigs were something you built for land-locked lakes.
+.SH SAIL PARTICULARS
+Ships in
+.I Sail
+are represented by two characters.
+One character represents the bow of
+the ship, and the other represents the stern.
+Ships have nationalities and numbers.
+The first ship of a nationality is number 0, the second
+number 1, etc.
+Therefore, the first British ship in a game would be printed as "b0".
+The second Brit would be "b1", and the fifth Don would be "s4".
+.PP
+Ships can set normal sails, called Battle Sails, or bend on extra canvas
+called Full Sails.
+A ship under full sail is a beautiful sight indeed,
+and it can move much faster than a ship under Battle Sails.
+The only trouble is, with full sails set, there is so much tension on sail and
+rigging that a well aimed round shot can burst a sail into ribbons where
+it would only cause a little hole in a loose sail.
+For this reason, rigging damage is doubled on a ship with full sails set.
+Don't let that discourage you from using full sails.
+I like to keep them up right into the heat of battle.
+A ship with full sails set has a capital letter for its nationality.
+E.g., a Frog, "f0", with full sails set would be printed as "F0".
+.PP
+When a ship is battered into a listing hulk, the last man aboard "strikes
+the colors."
+This ceremony is the ship's formal surrender.
+The nationality character of a surrendered ship is printed as "!".
+E.g., the Frog of our last example would soon be "!0".
+.PP
+A ship has a random chance of catching fire or sinking when it reaches the
+stage of listing hulk.
+A sinking ship has a "~" printed for its nationality,
+and a ship on fire and about to explode has a "#" printed.
+.PP
+Captured ships become the nationality of the prize crew.
+Therefore, if
+an American ship captures a British ship, the British ship will have an
+"a" printed for its nationality.
+In addition, the ship number is changed
+to "\*[Am]","'", "(", ,")", "*", or "+" depending upon the original number,
+be it 0,1,2,3,4, or 5.
+E.g., the "b0" captured by an American becomes the
+"a\*[Am]".
+The "s4" captured by a Frog becomes the "f*".
+.PP
+The ultimate example is, of course, an exploding Brit captured by an
+American: "#\*[Am]".
+.SH MOVEMENT
+Movement is the most confusing part of
+.I Sail
+to many.
+Ships can head in 8 directions:
+.nf
+
+ 0 0 0
+ b b b0 b b b 0b b
+ 0 0 0
+
+.fi
+The stern of a ship moves when it turns.
+The bow remains stationary.
+Ships can always turn, regardless of the wind (unless they are becalmed).
+All ships drift when they lose headway.
+If a ship doesn't move forward at all for two turns, it will begin to drift.
+If a ship has begun to
+drift, then it must move forward before it turns, if it plans to do
+more than make a right or left turn, which is always possible.
+.PP
+Movement commands to
+.I Sail
+are a string of forward moves and turns.
+An example is "l3".
+It will turn a ship left and then move it ahead 3 spaces.
+In the drawing above, the "b0" made 7 successive left turns.
+When
+.I Sail
+prompts you for a move, it prints three characters of import.
+E.g.,
+.nf
+ move (7, 4):
+.fi
+The first number is the maximum number of moves you can make, including turns.
+The second number is the maximum number of turns you can make.
+Between the numbers is sometimes printed a quote "'".
+If the quote is present, it means that your ship has been drifting, and
+you must move ahead to regain headway before you turn (see note above).
+Some of the possible moves for the example above are as follows:
+.nf
+
+ move (7, 4): 7
+ move (7, 4): 1
+ move (7, 4): d /* drift, or do nothing */
+ move (7, 4): 6r
+ move (7, 4): 5r1
+ move (7, 4): 4r1r
+ move (7, 4): l1r1r2
+ move (7, 4): 1r1r1r1
+
+.fi
+Because square riggers performed so poorly sailing into the wind, if at
+any point in a movement command you turn into the wind, the movement stops
+there.
+E.g.,
+.ne 1i
+.nf
+
+ move (7, 4): l1l4
+ Movement Error;
+ Helm: l1l
+
+.fi
+Moreover, whenever you make a turn, your movement allowance drops to
+min(what's left, what you would have at the new attitude).
+In short, if you turn closer to the wind, you most likely won't be able
+to sail the full allowance printed in the "move" prompt.
+.PP
+Old sailing captains had to keep an eye constantly on the wind.
+Captains in
+.I Sail
+are no different.
+A ship's ability to move depends on its attitude to the wind.
+The best angle possible is to have the wind off your quarter, that is,
+just off the stern.
+The direction rose on the side of the screen gives the
+possible movements for your ship at all positions to the wind.
+Battle
+sail speeds are given first, and full sail speeds are given in parenthesis.
+.nf
+
+ 0 1(2)
+ \\|/
+ -^-3(6)
+ /|\\
+ | 4(7)
+ 3(6)
+
+.fi
+Pretend the bow of your ship (the "^") is pointing upward and the wind is
+blowing from the bottom to the top of the page.
+The numbers at the bottom "3(6)" will be your speed under battle or full
+sails in such a situation.
+If the wind is off your quarter, then you can move "4(7)".
+If the wind is off your beam, "3(6)".
+If the wind is off your bow, then you can only move "1(2)".
+Facing into the wind, you can't move at all.
+Ships facing into the wind were said to be "in irons".
+.SH WINDSPEED AND DIRECTION
+The windspeed and direction is displayed as a little weather vane on the
+side of the screen.
+The number in the middle of the vane indicates the wind
+speed, and the + to - indicates the wind direction.
+The wind blows from the + sign (high pressure) to the - sign (low pressure).
+E.g.,
+.nf
+
+ |
+ 3
+ +
+.fi
+.PP
+The wind speeds are 0 = becalmed, 1 = light breeze, 2 = moderate breeze,
+3 = fresh breeze, 4 = strong breeze, 5 = gale, 6 = full gale, 7 = hurricane.
+If a hurricane shows up, all ships are destroyed.
+.SH GRAPPLING AND FOULING
+If two ships collide, they run the risk of becoming tangled together.
+This is called "fouling."
+Fouled ships are stuck together, and neither can move.
+They can unfoul each other if they want to.
+Boarding parties can only be
+sent across to ships when the antagonists are either fouled or grappled.
+.PP
+Ships can grapple each other by throwing grapnels into the rigging of
+the other.
+.PP
+The number of fouls and grapples you have are displayed on the upper
+right of the screen.
+.SH BOARDING
+Boarding was a very costly venture in terms of human life.
+Boarding parties may be formed in
+.I Sail
+to either board an enemy ship or to defend your own ship against attack.
+Men organized as Defensive Boarding Parties fight twice as hard to save
+their ship as men left unorganized.
+.PP
+The boarding strength of a crew depends upon its quality and upon the
+number of men sent.
+.SH CREW QUALITY
+The British seaman was world renowned for his sailing abilities.
+American sailors, however, were actually the best seamen in the world.
+Because the
+American Navy offered twice the wages of the Royal Navy, British seamen
+who liked the sea defected to America by the thousands.
+.PP
+In
+.I Sail,
+crew quality is quantized into 5 energy levels.
+"Elite" crews can outshoot and outfight all other sailors.
+"Crack" crews are next.
+"Mundane" crews
+are average, and "Green" and "Mutinous" crews are below average.
+A good rule of thumb is that "Crack" or "Elite" crews get one extra hit
+per broadside compared to "Mundane" crews.
+Don't expect too much from
+"Green" crews.
+.pl -1
+.SH BROADSIDES
+Your two broadsides may be loaded with four kinds of shot: grape, chain,
+round, and double.
+You have guns and carronades in both the port and starboard batteries.
+Carronades only have a range of two, so you have to get in
+close to be able to fire them.
+You have the choice of firing at the hull or rigging of another ship.
+If the range of the ship is greater than 6,
+then you may only shoot at the rigging.
+.PP
+The types of shot and their advantages are:
+.SH ROUND
+Range of 10.
+Good for hull or rigging hits.
+.SH DOUBLE
+Range of 1.
+Extra good for hull or rigging hits.
+Double takes two turns to load.
+.SH CHAIN
+Range of 3.
+Excellent for tearing down rigging.
+Cannot damage hull or guns, though.
+.SH GRAPE
+Range of 1.
+Sometimes devastating against enemy crews.
+.PP
+On the side of the screen is displayed some vital information about your
+ship:
+.nf
+
+ Load D! R!
+ Hull 9
+ Crew 4 4 2
+ Guns 4 4
+ Carr 2 2
+ Rigg 5 5 5 5
+
+.fi
+"Load" shows what your port (left) and starboard (right) broadsides are
+loaded with.
+A "!" after the type of shot indicates that it is an initial broadside.
+Initial broadside were loaded with care before battle and before
+the decks ran red with blood.
+As a consequence, initial broadsides are a
+little more effective than broadsides loaded later.
+A "*" after the type of shot indicates that the gun
+crews are still loading it, and you cannot fire yet.
+"Hull" shows how much hull you have left.
+"Crew" shows your three sections of crew.
+As your crew dies off, your ability to fire decreases.
+"Guns" and "Carr" show your port and starboard guns.
+As you lose guns, your ability to fire decreases.
+"Rigg" shows how much rigging you have on your 3 or 4 masts.
+As rigging is shot away, you lose mobility.
+.SH EFFECTIVENESS OF FIRE
+It is very dramatic when a ship fires its thunderous broadsides, but the
+mere opportunity to fire them does not guarantee any hits.
+Many factors influence the destructive force of a broadside.
+First of all, and the chief factor, is distance.
+It is harder to hit a ship at range ten than it is
+to hit one sloshing alongside.
+Next is raking.
+Raking fire, as mentioned before, can sometimes dismast a ship at range ten.
+Next, crew size and quality affects the damage done by a broadside.
+The number of guns firing also bears on the point, so to speak.
+Lastly, weather affects the accuracy of a broadside.
+If the seas are high (5 or 6), then the lower gunports
+of ships of the line can't even be opened to run out the guns.
+This gives frigates and other flush decked vessels an advantage in a storm.
+The scenario
+.I Pellew vs. The Droits de L'Homme
+takes advantage of this peculiar circumstance.
+.SH REPAIRS
+Repairs may be made to your Hull, Guns, and Rigging at the slow rate of
+two points per three turns.
+The message "Repairs Completed" will be printed if no more repairs can be made.
+.SH PECULIARITIES OF COMPUTER SHIPS
+Computer ships in
+.I Sail
+follow all the rules above with a few exceptions.
+Computer ships never repair damage.
+If they did, the players could never beat them.
+They play well enough as it is.
+As a consolation, the computer ships can fire double shot every turn.
+That fluke is a good reason to keep your distance.
+The
+.I Driver
+figures out the moves of the computer ships.
+It computes them with a typical A.I. distance
+function and a depth first search to find the maximum "score."
+It seems to work fairly well, although I'll be the first to admit it isn't
+perfect.
+.SH HOW TO PLAY
+Commands are given to
+.I Sail
+by typing a single character.
+You will then be prompted for further input.
