In the README for the excellent mahjongg solitaire game recently posted
to comp.sources.games, Mark Holm says:

I spent about half an hour and wrote a program that links with Mark's
icon.o file and dumps out all the tiles as portable bitmaps.  I have
absolutely no idea what Mark means by "preserve the artistic license
of the game", so I'm going to distribute these bitmaps the same way
he is: if you want them, send me mail.  Include an Internet address
or a uucp path relative to ucbvax.  The compressed uuencoded tar file
of X11-format bitmaps is 37 kilobytes, so please don't ask for them
if you don't really want them.

Note that I am NOT putting these bitmaps into the official Poskanzer
Bitmap Collection, since they are copyrighted.
