Thanks for the suggestion.
I thought about that but figured it might be easier to build my own.
Wasn't really headed towards a full-fledged game anyhow.  So I wouldn't
be needing an interface.  Currently the 3rd edition of the Beater has
been working out nicely for my AI coding.  I have notice that it lacks
the ability to start a New Game.  It is easy enough to detect if a
game has ended.  But he didn't put a New Game option easy to find.
I guess I could just find out how to send F2 via Keyboard to the game
board.  But would be nice to have a new_game() procedure or something.
