lgeneral for Debian
-------------------

In order to play LGeneral you have to install lgc-pg, a tool for converting the
original game data files of Panzer General to LGeneral's native file format.
You can obtain them from the original CD-ROM or with game-data-packager.

Examples
========

LGeneral support for game-data-packager is available for the first time
starting with version 33. This application creates a proper debian package
which you just need to install. If you own a copy of Panzer General
yourself, you can do the following:

1. Convert the original Panzer General game data and create a Debian package.

	game-data-packager lgeneral -f pg-data.tar.gz

2. Fetch a compressed pg-data archive of Panzer General game data from the web
   and create a Debian package.

	game-data-packager lgeneral -w

You can directly convert the data by extracting the tar.gz archive and
performing the following command. This will install all files into
/usr/share/games/lgeneral if you run lgc-pg with appropriate permissions.
(Not recommended, it's better to use game-data-packager)

	lgc-pg -s <path-to-your-pg-data-directory>
