Program is written in AmigaBasic.

This game is simple to play. Two options are available, 
        1 play the computer 
        2 another player.

    No illegal moves are allowed either playing the computer or a friend. 
Game play is controlled by the mouse, select the piece to move with mouse 
and press the left button. The selected piece will be outlined with a circle.
Now select where you want to put it and press the left button and the piece 
will move to that spot. 
     If a jump was made, then of course the opponent's piece will be taken 
off the board.  If another move is possible after the jump the computer will
inform you with a message.  You have to move this piece.  It is possible to
escape from an initial move and make another choice if only the selection is
made and the destination has not been selected. To cancel this way press the
ESC key and select another piece. That is all there is too it.
