BLOB.C
        A strategy game by Kevin S. Murray.  Human vs Human or play against
     the computer.  Computer movement logic developed by Kevin S. Murray.

        The object of the game is to secure more squares with your color
     than your opponent.  You may move from any of your occupied squares to
     an empty square.  The destination must be within two squares from the
     originating square.  If you move one square, you retain possesion of
     the original square.  If you move two squares, you lose possesion of
     the original square (it becomes empty, it is not automatically taken
     by your opponent).  The game ends when all squares on the board are
     filled.  If you can not move, your opponent may continue to move into
     all the empty squares until the board is full, or a square is vacated
     that is within reach of one of your blobs.

     By default, the blue player (black on monochrome monitor) is controlled
     by the computer.  You may play against another person by deselecting the
     Blue Player option under the skill menu.

     This release does not support the HINT or LEVEL options under the
     Skill menu.  The HINT will obviously offer a hint for the best place
     to move (based on the computer's logic).  The LEVEL will allow you
     to increase the intelligence of the computer's play in case it is
     too easy for you to beat.  If enough people register, I will release
     a new version which will include these options along with many more.

     This version has multiple playing fields programmed and saves the
     current board number in the windows WIN.INI file under the heading of
     [Blob].  You may also modify the setup to suit your taste by choosing
     "SETUP" from the options menu.  You may place or remove the unusable
     squares by clicking the left mouse button.  There is no facility to
     place the beginning red and blue blobs in this version.  I am saving
     that for the registered users as well.

     I know, you probably don't register a lot of your software.  You may
     figure that you don't have to because nobody will ever know.  Maybe
     you think the authors ask for too much money.  I am only asking for
     $5.00 for my time to create this program.  In case you aren't aware,
     developing WINDOWS programs is expensive.  The Software Development
     Kit is over $300.00 and the C Compiler is over $300.00 as well.

     I always look for WINDOWS programs on the BBS's I frequent, and I
     look for the games, too.  Usually, I am disappointed in the quality
     of the WINDOWS games.  Hopefully, this game will grab your fancy and
     you will enjoy it as much as I have.  In case you're wondering...
     it can beat me about two out of seven times.

     You can send your registration to Kevin Murray, PO Box 41751,
     Fayetteville, NC  28309.  I will acknowledge all registered users.
     Enjoy the program, and pass it on to a friend.  Thank You!
