+.SH NAME

+
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B u4
+.RI [ options ]
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B XU4
+is a remake of the computer game Ultima IV.  The goal is to make
+it easy and convenient to play this classic on modern operating
+systems. 
+.PP
+This man page only describes the command\-line options and keyboard commands
+supported by \fBu4\fR.
+For full documentation, see the files in \fI/usr/doc/xu4\-@VERSION@/\fR. The
+README is a good place to start. Also the "History of Britannia" and the "Book
+of Mystic Wisdom" are found there (you should read them before playing).

+.TP
+.B "\-f, \-\-fullscreen"

+.TP
+.B "\-p <profname>, \-profile <profname>"
+Activate a specific save game profile.  Using this
+option, you may have multiple saved games at the
+same time. Also, the game's config is stored on
+a per\-profile basis, so different profiles could
+have e.g. different screen resolutions.
+Use quotation marks around profile names that
+include spaces.
+All profiles are stored in the
+.I ~/.xu4/profiles
+sub\-directory.
+The active profile name is shown on the
+introduction map view off the main menu.

+Quiet mode \- no music.
