== Hexapawn ==
Thanks for the memories. I found back this year in my attic a set of matchboxes with bears and I didn’t remember for what purpose it was. You give me the answer. I am a younger dinosaur I began to program Hexapawn in 1974 with an IBM 360/30 with 32KB of storage and Fortran IV. Good old times. --[[User:PatGarrett|PatGarrett]] ([[User talk:PatGarrett|talk]]) 15 :54, 8 May 2016 (UTC)
:You're welcome! Despite our family's many moves I also have a batch of old matchboxes with diagrams stuck on the top, but the smarties (or M&M) are long since eaten. I recall prowling the railway station at Manor Park to find fresh and firm matchboxes not badly stained by rust (from iron particles cast off from the train's brakes) - after a few soakings by rain the cardboard became too floppy and by then I had become a connoisseur of "Beehive" matchbox quality.
