+This build of NetHack provides the standard console interface as well as the
+X11 and Qt interfaces.
+
+The X11 and Qt interfaces as well as the graphical tileset can be enabled via
+~/.nethackrc and/or ~/.Xdefaults. Menu entries are also provided for desktop
+enironments that support XDG-style menus.
+
+In order to save games, have scores listed in the top scores, and write to the
+nethack logfile, your user must be in the 'games' group.
+
+Additional documentation is provided at /usr/doc/nethack-3.4.3 and via the
