I have modified my copy of TETRIS to use the screen dissolver, so now at 
the start of the game, the playing field dissolves in one bit at a time. I 
think it looks nice.  Sort of gives it that little extra 'touch'.   :-) 

It might also be good at the end.  You may want to experiment with
using DISS in tiling mode, and see which one you like better.

By the way: if for some reason you decide not to use DISS in your next
posting of TETRIS, then I'm afraid I'll be forced to take matters into my
own hands and post the instructions for how to add DISS to TETRIS. :-)

But seriously, I would be honored if you decide to used it.

Regards,
