    The object of Blox is to  simply  move  three blocks marked '3' into a
    row. If three blocks with numbers '1' or '2' are moved into a row, the
    blocks are converted into rings which fall to the bottom of the screen
    and two new blocks appear  which  have  a  number  one higher than the
    blocks used to make them. (e.g. three '2' blocks in a row will produce
    two '3' blocks).

    If a block can't appear because the space  is occupied by a ring or if
    it appeared it would make three of  its  type in a row, then the space
    will flash on/off until the block can appear.

    Also the screen can be rotated to get  a different view or to make the
    rings fall to a different part of the screen.


       The control keys are:

       Cursor keys          - move up/down/left/right
       Spacebar             - rotate screen
       Esc                  - return to main menu
       Esc (from main menu) - return to DOS
