Game Board:
-----------

HIT a square to toggle the mine marker

DO  an unmarked square to uncover it:

  If square hides a:

    mine - the game is over:
      All wrongly marked mines (if any) are crossed out
      Any uncovered mines are displayed

    blank - Unravel:
      All adjacent blanks and bordering numbered squares are uncovered

    number - nothing
      DO a numbered square to uncover any adjacent uncovered squares that
      are not marked as mines.
        If there are unmarked mines in the adjacent squares that square and
        any uncovered adjacent squares will "flash".
        If there are surrounding squares that are incorrectly marked as
          mines the game is lost.

If you DO a square and regret it: as long as the mouse button remains
depressed, simply move the pointer out of the game window to annul the
action.

                                   End
