Get ready to roll!  FIVE DICE GAME is a fun way to play dice.  It is
played by two or more players, with the object to attain a score of
5000 points or more.  Each player rolls the dice, accumulating a score
as long as he rolls scoring dice.  If he fails to roll any score, he
loses his turn and a "scratch" is posted against him.  After any player
has 5000 points, every other player gets one more chance to beat that
score.  The game can be played by up to 15 human or
computer-controlled players (counting yourself).  The computer can play
any of three different strategies, from very conservative to fairly
aggressive.

The program is very easy to run and instructions are included.  This is
an excellent program for any user -- novice to expert.  The Turbo Pascal
source code is included in case you want to modify or write your own
computer opponents.
