There's a rather nifty-looking program on our system called "sail" which
describes itself as a game of "wooden ships and iron men".  It appears
to be a real-time, multi-user simulation game involving 30 different
scenarios of sea battles, ranging from "Constitution vs. Cyane & Levant"
and "Botany Bay" to "Battle of Midway" and even "Voyage to the Bottom of
the Sea".

Unfortunately, there is no documentation available, apparently not even
a "help" or "?" command within the program.  If anyone out there has any
info which would help us play the game, it would be much appreciated.
So far I haven't even been able to figure out how to change course or
fire a round with the cannons!
