The real-life version of connect4 is basically an upright hollow board

columns alternately by each player until one of the players has four
tokens in a row. These four tokens must be adjacent to each other but
the series of four can be in any direction.
.sp
Tokens are placed into a column by typing the number of the column
printed at the top of the screen.

To exit the game type \fBq\fP or \fBx\fP and \fBctrl-L\fP redraws the screen.
