+OpenJazz is a free, open-source version of the classic Jazz Jackrabbit
+games. OpenJazz can be compiled on a wide range of operating systems,
+including Windows 98/Me/XP and Linux. OpenJazz requires the files
+from any of the following games:
+
+- Jazz Jackrabbit Shareware Edition (included in this build)
+- Jazz Jackrabbit
+- Jazz Jackrabbit CD
+- Jazz Jackrabbit Christmas Edition
+- Jazz Jackrabbit: Holiday Hare 1995
+
+OpenJazz will not work with any of the Jazz Jackrabbit 2 games.
+
+There is no support for saving/loading the game. Multiplayer
+is supported, but not well tested. For more information, see
+http://www.alister.eu/jazz/oj/faq.php
+
+This build includes the data files from the shareware edition, installed
+in /usr/share/openjazz/shareware, and a wrapper script openjazz-shareware
+that runs them (along with a .desktop file that does the same). To run
+one of the other supported games, you'll need an installed/extracted copy
+of the game in its own directory, and you'll have to pass the directory
+path to openjazz as an argument. Example:
+
+$ openjazz /dosC/games/jazz
+
+Note that all the actual data files need to have UPPERCASE names,
+e.g. "BLOCKS.000". If yours are lowercase, you can use something
+like this:
+
+$ for i in *; do mv $i $( echo $i | tr a-z A-Z ); done
