TICTAC

Matrix tic-tac-toe is played on a twenty by twenty matrix in a manner
similar to ordinary tic-tac-toe. The player and the computer will
alternately place a move at one of the matrix coordinates. Each will
try to place five moves in a row to effect a win. The player will be
able to define the playing strength of the program on a scale from 1
to 10. The player may let the program start playing -- or not.


The available commands are:

Cursor control (arrows or digits)   -- moves cursor

	Cursor movements may be given by either pressing arrow-marked keys
	on the terminal or using the numeric keypad where the keys have
	the following effect:
	
	+------+-------+-------+
	!  7   !   8   !   9   !
	! up&  !  up   !  up&  !
