A new release of my "Generic Tetris" is out. This V2.0.0 is a complete
re-write based on V1.8.1. The layout has changed and people can now play
with "show next" mode and other preferences.

I've submitted the source to "comp.sources.games", and you can find it on:

    HOST: export.lcs.mit.edu
    FILE: /contrib/tetris.2.0.0.tar.Z

The following is some info in case you are not familiar with this program...


	GENERIC TETRIS
	==============	Yet Another Tetris Game on X, V2.0.0


WHY ANOTHER?

    Because this one is simple, easy to build, and portable -- actually
    the blocks are bigger, more comfortable for your eyes. It only uses
    Xlib -- no "toolkit" kind of thing. People have tested it on the
    following platforms:

	DEC 5000		Ultrix 4.2A	X11R4
	Iris 4D			IRIX 4.0.1	Motif
	Sun4, SPARCstation	SunOS 4.1.1	X11R4, X11R5
	Sequent S81		DYNIX 3.2.0	X11R5

...

ANYTHING SPECIAL IN PLAYING?

    Use 'j' to move left; 'l' to move right; 'k' to rotate. Left-handed
    people may want to use 's', 'd', 'f' respectively. Use the space
    bar to drop a block quickly.

    Use CTRL-L key combination to redraw -- in case the program messes
    somthing up.

    As usual, '+' and '-' will speed up or lower down the speed. Note
    that you don't need to press the SHIFT key -- '=' and '_' also
    work. The 'b' key can be used to toggle "beep" and 'n' toggles
    "show next".

    If you press 'p', the game will be paused, and the window will be
    iconified -- just in case your boss suddenly appears at your door.
    ;o) When the tetris window loses its focus, it also goes to
    "paused" mode except it doesn't iconify itself.

    Refer to the man page for detailed command line options.
