"Tic Tac Mac" is an unusual Tic Tac Toe game for kids of all ages.  The
graphics are colorful, the program is system 7.0 compatable,
and the algorithm is very challenging.

The program has the following features:

(1)  The user chooses who moves first and what symbol the user
	     prefers.  Instead of the usual X and O, this program draws
	     the image of a little boy's face or a little girl's face.
	
(2)  The little boy and little girl images are drawn in color.
	
(3)  If the computer moves first, the first move is random.  All other
	     moves are based on the computer's best knowledge.
	
(4)  The user moves by clicking the mouse in the desired square.

(5)  An "UNDO" function is included in case the user changes their
	     mind about a particular move.

(6)  If a winning path is detected, the winning squares light up,
	     the winner is declared, and frowns appear on the
	     losing players'  faces.
	
(7)  If the game ends up tied, a tie is declared.

(8)  A running tally of wins, losses, and ties is continually
	     updated.
	
(9)  A variety of colorful and helpful sets of instructions
	    are featured.  All choices can be made with the mouse.

(10) The user can quit the game at any time by choosing the
	      "QUIT" rectangle in lower left of the screen.

(11)  I haven't beaten the computer yet.  How about you?
