Modes Of Play:
Tetris can be played in either of two modes, Marathon or Levels.
- Marathon mode
Play continues until the well is filled.

Tetris starts each level with a pre-defined arrangement of blocks
and counts down 15 lines per level. There are currently 10
levels defined and play will cycle back to level 1 after level 10.

The TETRIS.DAT file contains game timeout values based on processor
speed, the bitmap images of the pieces and the definitions of the
various levels. This file must always be in the same directory with
the program.
Secret Keys:
'f': Freezes play without switching to "pause" screen.
Alt-V: Advances level immediately.
