  Or you could do as I did: change the line 126 in tet.c to read:

CurrentPause=INIT_PAUSE;

  ..then add an INIT_PAUSE #define at the beginning of tet.c, so at least the
file now agrees with the README file.  You might also want to play around with
the decrement if you have to put a huge number in to get it to run slow enough,
as, from inspection of the code and the CurrentPause-- line, it only decreases
the pause by one for each line that is filled and removed.  If you start out at
>1000, it is going to speed up very slowly, which may or may not as you like it.

  It would be fairly easy to add the decrement as a #define, like #define DEC 10
then change the CurrentPause-- line to CurrentPause -= DEC;.
