Hello, I am currently in the process of figuring out an elegant
way to create a move-generator for next states for this funny
looking board.  If anyone has a suggestion on where I might begin
to attack this problem I would be extremely grateful.  Please
send me an idea at ·······@mindspring.com         Eternal Thanks.
