MERLIN  Version 1.0

by BJ Gleason,  The American University, Thin Air Labs

Merlin is a simple game.  All you have to do is clear the field
of the blocks.  Use the number keys to flip the blocks on and
off.  The matrix is in the same order as the numeric keypad.

                         +---+---+---+
                         | 7 | 8 | 9 |
                         +---+---+---+
                         | 4 | 5 | 6 |
                         +---+---+---+
                         | 1 | 2 | 3 |
                         +---+---+---+

Pressing a corner key (1,3,7,9) will toggle 4 squares in that corner:

                         +---+---+---+
                         | X | X |   |
                         +---+---+---+
                         | X | X |   |
                         +---+---+---+
                         |   |   |   |
                         +---+---+---+

Pressing the side keys (2,4,6,8) will flip the entire side:

                         +---+---+---+
                         | X |   |   |
                         +---+---+---+
                         | X |   |   |
                         +---+---+---+
                         | X |   |   |
                         +---+---+---+

The center key (5) will flip the adjacent squares:

                         +---+---+---+
                         |   | X |   |
                         +---+---+---+
                         | X | X | X |
                         +---+---+---+
                         |   | X |   |
                         +---+---+---+


The 0 key will set up a new board at random. The ESC key will
exit.
