+NMM, TMM, and TWMM
+==================
+
+`NMM`, `TMM`, and `TWMM` are a C and curses implementation of the
+popular games Nine Man Morris, Three Man Morris, and Twelve Man
+Morris.
+
+Compiling
+---------
+
+To compile, you will need a C compiler, and a copy of the ncurses
+header files available. Then a simple
+
+ make
+
+will cause `nmm` and company to be compiled (in fact, `tmm` and `twmm`
+are no more than symlinks to `nmm`, displaying the correct game based
+on the basename). To install `nmm`, go
+
+ make install
+
+which will install under the prefix of `/usr/local` (see `Makefile`
+for details). If this isn't the desired location, you can override
+this setting with
+
+ make install -ePREFIX=/your/prefix install
+
+Man pages for `nmm` and company will be installed under
+`$(PREFIX)/man6/` and the `whatis` database will be updated with a
+call to `/usr/libexec/makewhatisdb`. If you wish to change this,
+please override the `MANPATH` and `MAKEWHATIS` variables when you call
+the install target.
+
