 Soh-Lo is the computer version of a famous "solo" game. 

 You will play on a  checkered board and try to remove as many balls as 
 you can, and to set the checkered-board free. There are two well known 
 version of the game: the "French" one and the "English" one.

 As there  are many other version of the  game, you can run the "maker" 
 and create your own game.

 SETUP

 Before playing Soh-Lo, remember to run SETUP. 
 The  upper part  allows you to  select/unselect the Sound Blaster Card
 (interrupt  number, address and  DMA channel). If you  have a SB card, 
 you need 590Kb of ram memory free (sorry!).
 The StartUp options  allows you to set the animation and sound initial 
 mode, and to choose the starting game.

 HOW TO PLAY ...

 As you come in  Soh-Lo,  you can already start  playing: use the mouse 
 and  click on the ball you want to move, then on the place you want to 
 move it. To de-select, just click on the ball again.

 The main menu shows the following options:

 Reset     : Restart the game.
 Undo      : Undo last move.
 Sound     : Set the Sound Blaster or Speaker sound On/Off.
 Anime     : Set the animation On/Off.
 Maker     : Maker Menu (see below).
 High Score: To show the best high-scores per game (each file, 
	      its high-scores).
 About     : Show the Soh-Lo credits.
 Quit      : To quit the game and exit to Dos.

 MAKER MENU

 As you choose the "maker" option on the main menu, you go to the Maker 
 menu.  The  maker allows  you to  create new games: every part  of the 
 board can be empty, contain a ball or be out of the game.

 The maker menu shows the following options:

 RESET  : Return to last playied game.
 CLEAR  : Set every part of the board as a in-game place.
 REVERSE: Set every out-of-the-game part of the board as a 
	  in-game place and vice versa.
 EMPTY  : Select the part of the board that will be empty (with no 
	  balls) at the starting of the game.
 LOAD   : To load a different "game".
 SAVE   : To save your own "game" in a file.
 PLAY   : Return to the main menu. If you click on PLAY and the program 
	  shows  the message  "Unplayable", there are no possible moves 
	  in the new game (did you forget the empty space?).

 NOTE 1 : Every time you make a change, the new game will be 
	   temporarily saved in a "__TMP__.GAM" file.

 NOTE 2 : Every time you save a file, the high-scores will be erased.
