				TETRIS
				======


			By Paul Thomsen

	This is a VAX/VMS implementation, in C, of the popular arcade
video game.  Since DEC terminals don't have much in the way of graphics
this game is character based, but it plays much the same as the original
and is fairly enjoyable.

	A command procedure is included to start the game.  A symbol should
be setup for the appropriate users so that they can easily call this
command procedure.  You can check who has used the game by typing the
TETRIS.DAT file, which is created with CREATE/FDL=TETRIS.FDL TETRIS.DAT.
You use the arrow keys to move the pieces and the space bar to rotate them.
It is fairly easy to use, but will speed up as you advance.  Even slow
VAX's or slow lines will provide a fairly enjoyable game.

	A common problem that I've experienced with the game is that game's
display may not appear centered.  Some of the lines or pieces may be jagged or
offset from where they belong.   This is due to the terminal's tabs being
set strangely.  The user should simply enter the setup screen for their
terminal and reset the tabs to their default positons.
