I'm happy to report that I've used this game for several days on two
different systems (an AT and a PS/2) and have not seen the problem
you described.

Scott Coulter

P.S. I trust I'm not the only one thoroughly addicted to this game?
It is the perfect step up for any Tetris enthusiast.  A hearty "thanks"
to the authors!
