About:
------
  This program makes the computer play but the AI is very simple (see below).
Anyway, you can play against another human.

How it plays:
For each move, it examines all the columns then conclude in the order below :
* "attack" mode :
If a column is full: it doesn't play.
If it can align 4 or more pieces, it plays.
If it allows to prevent the opponent from aligning 4 or more pieces, it plays.
If it allows the opponent to align 4 or more pieces at the next move, it doesn't play, unless it hasn't the choice.
If it allows to aligns 3 pieces, it plays.
If it allows to prevent the opponent from aligning 3 pieces, it plays.
If it allows to align 2 pieces, it plays.
If it allows to prevents the opponent from aligning 2 pieces, it plays.
(When it has the choice between many columns, it chooses one randomly)
* "defence" mode :
the difference consists in reversing the two last lines together and also the two ones before.

Controls:
---------
* In the menu:
-  <MODE>		: change the strategy of the Ti-92
-  <Cursor>		: change the options
* During the game:
-  <1> to <7>		: select the column you want to play
-  <ENTER>		: restart the game
-  <ESPACE>		: restart a new game
-  <ESC>		: quit
-  <diamond>+<on>	: shut down the calc.
			  (you return back to the game when you switch it on)
