+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B scid
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+This manual page documents briefly 
+.B Shane's Chess Information Database.
+This manual page was originally written for the Debian GNU/Linux
+distribution because the original program does not have a manual
+page. It does have documentation in a README file, which is available
+as /usr/doc/scid-@VERSION@/README. It also has extensive HTML
+documentation, which is available at
+/usr/doc/scid-@VERSION@/help/Index.html .
+.PP
+Scid is a chess database application. With it you can browse databases
+of chess games, edit games, and search for games by various criteria.
+Scid uses its own compact and fast database format, but can convert to and
+from PGN format.
+.PP
+The command 'scid' starts the graphical user interface.
+.PP
+The spell-checking file is placed in
+/usr/share/scid/data/ratings_2008_4.ssp (in case Scid can't find it), 
+while the books for scidlet is in /usr/share/scid/books/scidlet40k.sbk. 
+Scid should show a photo whenever a game by a player with a photograph is
+loaded. This should happen automatically. If not, copy or link the files in
+/usr/share/scid/photos to your Scid user options directory (~/.scid)
+and run Scid. To see the photos you must load the spell-checking file.
+
+.SH SLACKWARE-SPECIFIC INFORMATION
+As packaged with the script from SlackBuilds.org, the directories 
+/usr/share/scid/books and /usr/share/scid/bases are owned by root:games
+and with permissions of 775, which means that they are readable by anyone,
+but writable by only members of the "games" group.  This makes it possible
+for members of the "games" group to add/change/delete books and bases for
+scid.  However, a much better approach is something along these lines:
+
+ mkdir -p $HOME/.scid
+ cp -r /usr/share/scid/{bases,books} $HOME/.scid
+
+Then, in the Options menu of the scid interface, set the bases directory 
+to $HOME/.scid/bases and the books directory to $HOME/.scid/books, and 
+restart scid. Try with F11 to see if the book works.  If not, then you may
+have to set the permissions of $HOME/.scid/bases/* and $HOME/.scid/books/* 
+to 0666.
+
