                    **  HOW TO PLAY QUATRIS II++  **

1.  RULES

If you are a first time player, do not use any of the bombs until you
have undertood the basic concept of how Quatris is played.  

When the game starts, you will see objects composed of several blocks,
such as the ones shown below, falling from the top of the screen.

@SOBJ

As these objects fall down slowly from the top of the screen, you can
rotate them by pressing the up arrow key and move them left, right, and
down using the other arrow cursor keys.

Your job is to rotate and guide these objects to the bottom of the well
in a way so that they will all "fit" together with no blank spaces in
between.  When you completely fill up a row, that particular row will
disappear.  Repeat this process so that the objects will not stack up
to the top--if they do, the "GAME IS OVER".


2.  USING BOMBS

You can use Regular, Super, or Match bomb by pressing "1", "2", or "3,"
repectively.  Again, if you are a first time player, using the bombs at
this point can give you a wrong idea of how this game works.

3.  SAVING YOUR GAME

Quatris II++ is a tournament style game that can take hours to complete.
For the player's convenience, Quatris II++ lets the player save the game
and continue at a later time.  To save the game, simply press [ESC] and
your game will be saved using your NAME as the file name with ".SAV"
extension in the Quatris II++ directory.  This is the same file where your
keyboard configuration is also stored.


                             *    *    *


There are 57 challenging shapes in the commercial version of Quatris II++.  
In World-1, you will play with regular blocks and giant-size Quatris 
SuperBLOCKS (tm).  In World-2 and in the Master Level, you will see even 
weirder looking shapes, and the Quatris Dynamic-Well(tm) will change in 
size WHILE you play!  Good luck!
