CrossFire has been designed to be a simple, self-explanatory application.
However, in order to get the maximum utility out of it, you are encouraged to
read the short, but fascinating, on-line user manual.  It may be located at

http://beekeeperlabs.com/crossfire/docs/manual-1_3.html

You can also reach it by selecting the Help/View Documentation menu item from
within CrossFire itself. 

INSTALLATION
============

The exact installation sequence varies by OS. We provide details for each
major OS below.

Windows:
 1) Make sure that you are running Java 1.8 or later. The latest version of
    Java can always be downloaded from http://java.com/. 
 2) Run the supplied installer. It will remind you if you forgot step (1).

Linux:
 1) Make sure that you are running Java 1.8 or later. The latest version of
   Java should be available at http://java.com/. 
 2) Unpack the supplied .tgz file in a location of your choosing.
 3) Run the supplied "crossfire" shell script.

Macintosh (OS X 10.7.3 & later):
 1) If you already have a Java 1.8 or better installed, download the "app-only"
    installer. If you don't have Java 1.8 or are not sure, download the
   "app+Java JRE" installer. 
 2) Double click on the installer. You will typically want to choose the
    default options. 
 3) Look for the executable app under "/Applications" and the auxiliary files
    under "/Library". Brand new installations will automatically find the
    library files, but anyone upgrading from version 1.2 or earlier may have
    to explicitly search there for the default dictionary and sample puzzles.
