     Minesweeper is a fast paced puzzle game.  A field of squares
is laid out before you.  Beneath a set number of these squares lies
a land mine.  Your task is to mark off these mines and prevent them
from detonating.  You can accomplish this by uncovering select
squares.  If no mine lies beneath it, then a number appears.  This
is the number of mines (from 1 to 8) surrounding that square.  If
no mines lies around it, then those eight squares are automatically
uncovered.  If a mine lies beneath the uncovered square, then it
detonates and the game is over.  You must mark each square in which
you believe a mine lies with a flag.  The object of the game is to
mark each mine on the field with a flag in the shortest time
possible.

help screen.

Disclaimer:
	All the big words aside, let's just get right to the point:

	I made this game, and that's my business.  It works for me, I don't know
	about you.  For all I know, it could work beautifully on your computer, it
	could make it blow up, or it could cause it go into a deep depression.  I
	can't say for sure.  If it screws you up, don't come crying to me - I
	warned you.

	Again, I made this game, and that's my business.  I give you the right to
	copy it and pass it along to anyone you may or may not know, so long as
	it has not been tampered with, and all parts are included.  If you enjoy
	the game, please send me about $5 - $10 Canadian or American to the address
	given at the end of this document.  If you don't pay me after about 30
	days, you should delete every part of this package.  Do not send disks.
	There is no registered version of this game - you've got everything.  I
	just want my part.

	Everyone will die.  That is all, thank-you.


	 This totally cool version of Minesweeper was created by David
Faria.  This game is ShareWare.  Feel free to copy it and pass it
along to your friends if you think it will brighten up their day.
All I ask is that no payment is given for it, and that none of the
files are tampered with.  If you like the game, please send $5 to
$10 Canadian or American to the following address.  (Canadian funds
preferred.  Cash is convenient, cheques OK).

Watch for Dr. Dent (a Tetris-like game), and a Turbo Pascal programmer's
	utility - a text-based windowing unit, both coming soon!
