Mine Field is a game of chance that challenges players to achieve the highest
score possible.  The key is not getting blown up by stepping on mines.

The object of the game is to maneuver your  man  (the 'X' character)  through
the mine field, ultimately  reaching the "FINISH" square.  Each time you make
it alive, your score is incremented.

Each game begins with  a  value of 500 points.  Each  move  you make  adds to
that value.    The more mines there are planted, the more each move is worth.

                            6                         100
                            7                         125
                            8                         150

Each time you move,  the  Move Value is added to the Game Worth.  If you make
it to the "FINISH" square, the Game Worth  is  added  to your score.  So, the
more moves you make, the more  the  current  game is worth.    But don't be a
hot-dog or you might be sorry!

Each month,  all  the player scores are reduced back to 0 and the play begins
over again.

To move your player, turn your NUM LOCK key ON.  Then use the numeric key pad
to move your man up, down, left, right and even diagonally.   If you feel you
must quit during  a  game, pressing Q will end the current game.   Pressing R
will redraw the screen (in cases where line noise is a problem).
