/The object of this game is to connect as
/many dots as you can and close the cells
/on the screen.  The person or computer who
/closes the most cells without hitting too
/many bombs will probably win.
/A cell is a rectangle with four edges. Use
/the mouse pointer to click on the edges of
/the cells.  When all the edges are clicked
/on, the cell is closed.

/Before the game starts you will be asked
/to make a decision.  Click on 'Y' if you
/want the computer to mark the edges that
/you can click on to close a cell.  If you
/do this you will have to close a cell if
/its last edge is marked with a blue dotted
/line.  You 'can' close a cell if its last
/edge is marked with a yellow dotted line.
/Edges -
/    Blue dotted: you must click here.
/    Yellow dotted: you can click here.

/The registered version of this game comes
/with two more difficulty levels.  The hard

/are more cells to close.  The computer is
/also smarter and harder to beat.
