The Game:
	Puzzler is a Windows 3.0 Application written in MS Visual Basic 
(Requiring VBRUN100.DLL).  The system hides any combination of the six 
game pegs (it may use same color more than once). Guesses (educated or not)
are made by dragging the colored "pegs" from the Peg Bin to a "hole" in the 
current turn area. Pegs may be changed as often as you like... when you are 
ready to have your guess evaluated press the button.  Guesses are evaulated 
as follows:  The right color in the right position gets a Black peg.  The 
right color in the wrong position gets a white peg. Wrong color, wrong 
position... no peg (grey).  
	This program uses any one of four different evaluation routines (this 
was necessary to keep me from cheating, by knowing the evaluation sequence!)
	I frustration gets the best of you, the "Wimp Out" button will display
the puzzle solution.  (It will also add the maximum number of guesses to your 
average.)


Have fun, live long and prosper, may the force be with you, long live the 
shire!

Questions or comments:
	Since this is my first attempt at a VB program, any comments would be 
welcome. If anyone is interested I would be glad to share the source code... 
some of it is NOT the most effecient code ever devised!
