			*KISMET*


		PROGRAM BY ROBERT WILSON


	THE GAME OF 'KISMET' IS A COMBINATION OF POKER AND DICE.
THE OBJECT IS TO GET THE HIGHEST SCORE YOU CAN. THIS IS DONE BY
ROLLING DICE AND TRYING FOR DIFFERENT COMBINATIONS. THERE ARE 15
DIFFERENT CATEGORIES. THEY ARE BROKEN UP INTO TWO SECTIONS, THE
BASIC SECTION AND THE KISMET SECTION.
BELOW IS A LIST OF CATEGORIES:

BASIC SECTION

NUMBER		CATEGORY		SCORE
  1		 ACES			1 FOR EACH ACE
  2		 DEUCES			2 FOR EACH DEUCE
  3		 TREYS			3 FOR EACH TREY
  4		 FOURS			4 FOR EACH FOUR
  5		 FIVES			5 FOR EACH FIVE
