                               SOKOBAN

"Soko ban" is Japanese for "warehouse man". Use the arrow keys to move
the man and push the boxes onto the blue loading docks. Only one box can
be pushed at a time.

If you make a mistake, such as pushing a box into a corner, you can undo
moves with the Backspace key. The Esc key terminates the program.

If you get a message that a file is missing, you might be running from

HISTORY

Sokoban was created in 1982 by Hiroyuki Imabayashi, president of Thinking
Rabbit, a company in Japan. It won first prize in a computer game contest
because of the simplicity of the rules and the challenge of the problems.
It soon became very popular.

Many people have created many levels to the game. There are at least 1400
of them available at: http://mujweb.cz/Zabava/sokoban/downloada.htm

The levels included here are the originals by Thinking Rabbit. Additional
levels are from Riza Purwo Nugroho of Jakarta, Indonesia, although he is
not the original author.
