The game by Nels Anderson is a lovely game, but it's not Mah Jongg no
matter what he says.  (It's to MJ much like Fish is to Poker or Bridge -
same tiles, different game.)

Mah Jong resembles gin rummy.  The other (marketted commercially as
Shanghai) has a big stack of tiles in the middle of the screen.

PBS *does* have a "real" Mah Jong - it's on disk GA25.0.
