Requires a following parameter, either black or white, which tells the computer which colour to play. -altdisplay -ad: Tells the computer that you are playing as the white player in a network game. It requires one additional parameter---the display to pop the black player's windows up on. The other display must allow connections, via xhost or xauth. Most standard X command line parameters (-geometry, -foreground, etc.) work too. There are no 3Dc-specific resources but normal Xt resources (foreground, geometry, etc.) work. By default, the muster (main) window's resource name is "3Dc"; the board windows are "3Dc board {X|Y|Z}", depending on the board. See file:3Dc-rules.html for 3Dc rules. Paul Hicks
