Lisa Slide Puzzle 1.0 -- a sliding-tile game for the Office System

A new native LOS tool: each 680 x 300 picture from the LISA Slide Show
becomes twelve tiles with one missing, scrambled by 150 random legal
moves. 

Slide them back with the keypad (8 2 4 6 move the gap) or by
clicking a tile in the gap's row or column, which slides the whole run.
S peeks at the finished picture, N scrambles again, the Puzzle menu
moves to the next or previous picture or gives up, and the gap keeps
the move count.  "Solved in N moves!" when the last tile drops in.

Pictures
   
It plays whatever .PIX files are on the disk it lives on -- the same
files as the slide show and its picture packs.  The floppy carries
one sample picture and LisaFileMover 1.1, so copying more pictures
on is a Copy in the file mover (E .PIX, A, Apple-B for a whole pack).
