SCS Mines is based on the Mine Sweeper game in Windows.
-----------------
The object is to clear all the safe places in the mine field and find all the mines without blowing yourself up.
Clicking on a square will reveal what is underneath. If it is a mine, you have lost the game. If it isn't a bomb you will be told by a number, how many mines are touching that square (the eight squares surrounding a square on its sides and corners are considered to be "touching" the center square).
Example: If the number is a 1, then one of the 8 squares touching the square has a mine placed beneath it, and the rest are safe.
Using the information given to you, you must use logic to prove where mines are and where they aren't. When you are absolutely sure of a mine's location, hold down the shift key and click on the square. This will flag the location and make it safe.
It is your goal to flag every single mine within the field without being blown to bits.
SCS Mines 1.0 is Freeware. CD-ROM distribution is allowed, but as a gesture of common courtesy, I would ask that you check with me before hand. I like to know where my software gets to, and that you have the latest version.
I love to hear your comments and suggestions, so send me e-mail or write me a postcard!
Donations of money are also appreciated, but this is freeware, and it is not expected of you.

I'd like to thank Zig Zichterman for his wonderful 3D Buttons CDEF, as well as David Hay for his ArrowCDEF.
The nice background pattern was made by Jonathon E. Durkee (MarsSaxMan@aol.com)
Thanks guys!
I'd also like to thank the folks who hang around the comp.sys.mac.programmer.help newsgroup. Their help is invaluble.

If you have any problems, try giving the game a little more memory or deleting the preferences file. If the problem persists, please let me know.
