                     16: a childrens' card game.  The Object is to
                     17: accumulate `books' of 4 cards with the same face value.  The
                     18: players alternate turns; each turn begins with one player
                     19: selecting a card from his hand, and asking the other player for
                     20: all cards of that face value.  If the other player has one or
                     21: more cards of that face value in his hand, he gives them to the
                     22: first player, and the first player makes another request.
                     23: Eventually, the first player asks for a card which is not in
                     24: the second player's hand: he replies `GO FISH!' The first
                     25: player then draws a card from the `pool' of undealt cards.  If
                     26: this is the card he had last requested, he draws again.  When a

                     28: are laid down and no further action takes place with that face
                     29: value.
                     30: .PP
                     31: To play the computer, simply make guesses by typing a,

                     33: return gives you information about the size of my hand and the
                     34: pool, and tells you about my books.  Saying `p' as a first
                     35: guess puts you into `pro' level; The default is pretty dumb.
