I decided to write my own Minesweeper as I wasn't satisfied with any
Minesweeper clones I've met for Atari. It seems that their authors forgot to
implement square opening with BOTH mouse buttons.
So this version solves that problem, but as it's only a preview, it still has
some known bugs and limitations:

1. Although I tried to write a 100% clean GEM program, there are problems with
redrawing the window. The problem is that vro_cpyfm, which is responsible for
graphics ignores GEM clipping (I think that vro_cpyfm is actually equal to the
bitblt function of Line-A). Any idea what to use to have fast, flexible gfx
display in all resolutions?

2. The program currently works correctly only in the 640x480x16 resolution of
the Falcon. Other resolutions will be supported in the near future (all of
them, I hope).

3.  The sound is played using the new Xbios functions of the Falcon, other-
wise you have to switch it off.

Planned improvements:

- to be able to run in any resolution
- to be able to run also as an ACC
- dialogues in windows
- fixed bugs
