+In order to compile this game you need a Pascal compiler. The Free 
+Pascal Compiler works: http://freepascal.org/
+
+You also need ncurses and SDL.
+
+Your GNU/Linux distro may already have it packaged. In the Trisquel 
+GNU/Linux distro for example:
+
+sudo apt-get install fpc fp-units-multimedia libncursesw5-dev
+
+To compile it change into the src directory and then run:
+
+fpc BEYOND.PAS
+
+The binary will be named BEYOND and stored in the src directory.
+
+Known Limitations:
+* You must be in the 'src' directory to successfully run the program. 
+* You must set your terminal window to 80x25.
+
+These may be addressed in a future version.
