  If you are like most people, tic-tac-toe, along with Dots and Hangman, was a
childhood favorite -- a perfect way to kill time during boring classes or rainy
Saturday afternoons.  The problem with tic-tac-toe, however, is that it's too
easy to master.  Players quickly learn how to insure at least a draw with their
opponent.  But while tic-tac-toe may be a game for children, variations of the
game can challenge adults as well. RAINBOW, for example, provides an
interesting test of strategy.

  RAINBOW is played on a 4 X 4 grid. Instead of using "X's" and "O's," players
have two symbols to mark squares.  One player uses cyan crosses and white
"X's."  The other player uses black and red circles.  The players take turns
placing their symbols on the grid; the player who causes a row to have all four
different symbols wins the game.  To learn more about RAINBOW, read the
instructions included with the program itself.
