                                 Hi-Q

          This is a simple implementation of the board game Hi-Q.
          The original is played on a plastic board with pegs placed in
          holes in a cross pattern as shown.
          The object is to remove all but one the of the pegs by jumping
          the pegs from one hole over another peg as in checkers. The
          peg jumped over is removed. A perfect score is one peg left 
          in the center hole. This version just replicates the board
          and movements. It does not provide any logic or hints for the
          player. Use the right and left mouse buttons as explained on
          the game screen. The program must be name HIQ.PRG to work.
          It must also be run in low resolution only.
          It was written in GFA Basic and compiled. The board is a 
          picture drawn with Degas Elite. I was able to combine the 
          program and picture files into one so that the program does
          not need to access any external files. If anyone is interested
          in the trick leave me a message on either Genie or Compuserve
          and I will explain how to do it without Data statements.
