To all of you who have sent me e-mail;

(1) I didn't write the original version, so stop asking me how to
    change this and that.  I don't know.

(2) The update I posted has changed the keyboard layout for controlling
    the blocks.  The new layout is:

                     Rotate Counter Clockwise
                              [8]
               Move Left  [4] [5] [6] Move Right
                               |
                              Drop

(3) If anyone is interested, you can put a pause key into the program
    by modifying the RK2 program even further:

RK2
\<<
   IF KEY    THEN                /-------------------- 11 is the 'A' key
(pause)
     IF { 72 74 73 63 11 } SWAP POS DUP
     THEN { << program to move left >>
            << program to move right >>
            << program to drop >>
            ROTF
            << DO UNTIL KEY END DROP >> }  @ This pauses until a key
     SWAP GET EVAL                         @ is pressed.
     ELSE DROP
     END
   END a WAIT
>>

(4) I have a new version of the IPIC program that shows the key
    layout (I just wrote it today, so give me a day to post it).

(5) Could the person who wrote the original please mail me?  I would
    like to change it to use [7] to rotate left and [9] to rotate
    right.  I'm not a real programmer, and I can't figure out how
    to do that fix on my own.

That's it!

Rob
