Subject: Quarto 1.01r board game

Quarto! is a strategy game I copied from a board game of the same name.

The object of this game is to be the first person (or computer) to correctly
declare that there is a line of four pieces, each of which shares at least one
attribute.
There are four attributes: shape (round or rectangular), height (tall or
squat), color (white or grey), and plain or dotted.

Version 1.01r released April 1996. This version fixes two bugs that were
introduced in the features above: after opening a game, you could put pieces
down over pieces that were already on the board. Similarly, after "undoing" a
previously won game, you could put pieces down over pieces that were previously
part of the winning line.

More info is available by choosing "Help" from the Quarto menu in the game.
Quarto! is freeware. Source code is freely available.
