Generate text documentation from the troff source files.
This is done by make, in the 'docs' target, which is now part of the
normal build process.
Unfortunately, not all the games include troff sources. Getting decent
HTML output from groff is still a difficult process which will not be
attempted at this time. There are a few bugs in the 'install' and
'uninstall' rules.
Not to mention that the documentation is sometimes inaccurate.

| 10 .SH DESCRIPTION | |
| 11 .PP | |
| 12 .I Rogue | |
| 13 is a computer fantasy game with a new twist. It is crt oriented and the | |
| 14 object of the game is to survive the attacks of various monsters and get | |
| 15 a lot of gold, rather than the puzzle solving orientation of most computer | |
| 16 fantasy games. | |
| 17 .PP | |
| 18 To get started you really only need to know two commands. The command | |
| 19 .B ? | |
| 20 will give you a list of the available commands and the command | |
| 21 .B / | |
| 22 will identify the things you see on the screen. | |
| 23 .PP | |
| 24 To win the game (as opposed to merely playing to beat other people high | |
| 25 scores) you must locate the Amulet of Yendor which is somewhere below | |
| 26 the 20th level of the dungeon and get it out. Nobody has achieved this | |
| 27 yet and if somebody does, they will probably go down in history as a hero | |
| 28 among heros. | |
| 29 .PP | |
| 30 When the game ends, either by your death, when you quit, or if you (by | |
| 31 some miracle) manage to win, | |
| 32 .I rogue | |
| 33 will give you alist of the top-ten scorers. The scoring is based entirely | |
| 34 upon how much gold you get. There is a 10% penalty for getting yourself | |
| 35 killed. | |
| 36 .PP | |

| 63 .SH BUGS | |
| 64 .PP | |
| 65 Probably infinite. Currently known bugs are: Sometimes you are still hungry | |
| 66 even after you eat food and sometimes you get a monster on the screen in | |
| 67 reverse video which may or may not cause a core dump. |
