           _B_j simulates the dealer in the game of black jack (or
           twenty-one).  The following rules apply:

           The bet is $2 every hand.

                A player ``natural'' (black jack) pays $3.  A dealer
                natural loses $2.  Both dealer and player naturals is a
                ``push'' (no money exchange).

                If the dealer has an ace up, the player is allowed to
                make an ``insurance'' bet against the chance of a
                dealer natural.  If this bet is not taken, play resumes
                as normal.  If the bet is taken, it is a side bet where
                the player wins $2 if the dealer has a natural and
                loses $1 if the dealer does not.

                If the player is dealt two cards of the same value, he
                is allowed to ``double''.  He is allowed to play two
                hands, each with one of these cards.  (The bet is
                doubled also; $2 on each hand.)

                If a dealt hand has a total of ten or eleven, the
                player may ``double down''.  He may double the bet ($2
                to $4) and receive exactly one more card on that hand.

                Under normal play, the player may ``hit'' (draw a card)
                as long as his total is not over twenty-one.  If the
                player ``busts'' (goes over twenty-one), the dealer
                wins the bet.

                When the player ``stands'' (decides not to hit), the
                dealer hits until he attains a total of seventeen or
                more.  If the dealer busts, the player wins the bet.

                If both player and dealer stand, the one with the
                largest total wins.  A tie is a push.

           The machine deals and keeps score.  The following questions
           will be asked at appropriate times.  Each question is
           answered by yyyy followed by a new-line for ``yes'', or just
           new-line for ``no''.

                ?         (means, ``do you want a hit?'')
                Insurance?
                Double down?

           Every time the deck is shuffled, the dealer so states and
           the ``action'' (total bet) and ``standing'' (total won or
           lost) is printed.  To exit, hit the interrupt key (DEL) and
           the action and standing will be printed.
