First off, feel free to copy and distribute this program, give it to your

charge any type of fee.
If you wish to distribute this program in a shareware package, contact the
author for information.
This game lets you play the brain teaser game found in Cracker Barrel rest-
aurants and many others nationwide. It will also show you the solutions,
and give hints while playing.
Play is simple if you have a mouse. First, you will be asked which peg to
remove, since one hole must be empty to start play. Point to the peg you
wish removed and click. The game now begins.
A legal move requires you to jump a peg over another into a hole. To do this,
click the peg you wish to move. It will start flashing. Next, click the hole
you wish to place it in. The peg you jumped will be removed automatically.
Continue play like this, trying to leave only one peg. An indicator on the
right side of the screen tells whether or not a solution that leaves one peg
is possible. When you have no legal moves left, you are evaluated and then
asked if you wish to play again.
If you want help, click the Hint button during play. If it is still possible
to leave one peg, the computer will make a good move for you.
One last thing you can do while playing is to click the Solve button. It will
show you sequences of moves that leave one peg left.
That's it! Good luck!
