+<title>Introduction</title>
+
+<para>&kenolaba; is a simple board strategy game that is played by two
+players. There are red and yellow pieces for each player. Beginning from
+a position where each player has 14 pieces, moves are drawn until
+one player has pushed 6 of his opponent's pieces out of the
+board.</para>
+
+<para>The original program was developed in 1993 for DOS and pure
+Xlib. For &kde; there was a major rewrite.</para>
+
+<note><para> If you know the board game called Abalone, you will like this
+program. In fact, this program was inspired by the mentioned game.
+Abalone is a trademark of Abalone SA, France.</para></note>

+The piece will then be highlighted. Now drag the mouse in the desired
+direction. If the move is valid, the cursor will change to an arrow in
+that direction and all the pieces of the move will be highlighted. If
+this is the move you want to draw, release the mouse button.</para>
+
+<para>Side moves are handled another way: For two adjacent pieces click between
+them and drag; for three pieces press the &MMB; on the middle piece - if a side
+move is allowed for the pieces they will be highlighted. Otherwise only the
+middle one is highlighted and you draw a normal move. </para>

+opponent's and with two pieces one.</para>

+&kenolaba; supports playing across a network. This allows two people to
+play against each other on different computers, or one person to observe
+the game play of another &kenolaba; program. To use &kenolaba;'s network
+features, &kenolaba; must be set to Network Mode by selecting
+<menuchoice><guimenu>Game</guimenu><guimenuitem>Network Play</guimenuitem></menuchoice>.</para>
+

+<para>
+All running &kenolaba; programs which are in Network Mode broadcast
+changed positions to each other.</para>
+
+<para>To exchange positions, the &kenolaba; programs have to be told
+about each other. If they are running on the same machine, nothing is
+needed (apart from switching to Network Mode). If running on different
+computers you have to specify the other's machine on the command line
+with the <option>-h</option> switch, as so:</para>

+<screen width="40"><prompt>%</prompt><userinput><command>kenolaba</command> <option>-h</option> <parameter><replaceable>SomeHostName</replaceable></parameter></userinput></screen>
+
+<note><para> For insiders: &kenolaba;, when in Network Mode, listens on
+a <acronym>TCP</acronym> socket for position change commands by other
+&kenolaba; programs. You can specify the port number with the
+<option>-p</option> command line switch. You need this if you want to
+play two different &kenolaba; Network games.</para></note>

+<guimenuitem>Paste</guimenuitem> in the other, but this is better done
