resp:10, I hate when that happens. In the late eighties I use to see
Tetris blocks when I tried to sleep.

janc, you need to create a version for people that can't go to sleep because
they're thinking about the game. You could call it minesleeper...

I bought a simple Javascript version of Minesweeper (along with some other
games like Tetris/Pentaris/Threetris, and Snakes)

Believe it or not, yes. They were simple games, well written, that integrated
well with minimum work. I couldn't have written them myself, and they were
better than anything I had seen that was free.

i have never played the game so i have no idea if this is old news or not:
holding down both mouse keys and hitting the esc button will turn off the
timer.
i just read it in a magazine..

Holding down CTRL-ALT-SHIFT and clicking on the deck lets you flip one
card at a time (instead of 3) when playing Solitaire on Windoze.

control-alt-delete stops the timer on Windows.

Hey Rick, go put this at the top of your AUTOEXEC.BAT:
echo g=ffff:0|debug

Microsoft wrote Minesweeper? I remember playing Bombs on a Mac long before
I heard of Minesweeper.
My fastest time on the Advanced board is currently in the 300s. However, I
don't mark known mines, so I never know how many are left. I don't play
very often, either.

Well, they wrote the Windows version, way back when. I doubt the code has
been touched in years.
Speaking of which, what's up with Notepad? 7+ years, and it still can't
open files bigger than 32,000 bytes or so.

vim is great, but vi is somewhat limited without the standard unix
utilities to pipe things through..
