Andrey, 

Nice job on TETRIS2.  It definitely seems more responsive, and I like
the new "pause" functionality.

One comment:  Did you experiment with the 'tiling' mode for the 
screen dissolver?

The bit-wise dissolve takes over 4 seconds, and it may become 
"tedious" to some users after they've seen it 100 or so times.  I
have changed my copy of TETRIS2 to use the bit-wise dissolve
only at startup, and to use the tiling mode for all screen dissolves
thereafter.   The tiling mode dissolve takes less than a second, and 
gives a slightly different effect.

Nice work!   (and thanks for using DISS)
