This game was realized with MS-Visual C++ 1.0 and MFC 2.0	

* If you like this game ,please send me CHF 10.- 
* (about 7 US-Dollars) or equivalent in cash; no checks please !


The Rules
---------
It's quite simple, you win if you are able to place 4 of your 
pieces in sequence (either vertical, horizontal or diagonal). 
Due to gravitation, the pieces sink down the column...

How to play
-----------
Move the mouse to the desired column in the left window and 
click the LEFT button once. You will see a RED circle, your piece,
and soon after a blue one in a different column (this is the 
computer's piece).
The move-list is displayed in the right window's listbox.

If you win, or probably loose the game, press the first button in
the toolbar to clear the game board and start a new game.
 
Features
--------
-Use the OPTIONS-Dialog (button four in the toolbar) to select the
 Game LEVEL (1-6) and the Board DIMENSION (8,10,16).
 Levels above 4 should be used on high speed systems 
 (33 MHz or higher) only.
-In the VIEW-Menu you can set the colors of pieces if you don't 
 like the defaults.
-Games can be saved and reloaded using the FILE-Menu or buttons 
 three and two.

-Windows non-preemptive multitasking is supported. During the 
 search for the computer's move, VIERPP only processes WM_MOUSEMOVE 
 messages, so there will be no repaints.
 
Known Limitations
-----------------
-Version 1.0 doesn't support a RANDOM feature, that means if you 
 know how to win, you can reproduce it anytime!
-The Print and Print-Preview functions are not yet fully 
 implemented.
 
Enjoy it !
