While away the idle moments watching the snake eat blank squares
on your screen. Snake has only one (optional) argument -
usage: snake [character]
where "character" represents a single character to be used in drawing
the snake. The default is an "o." In order to run snake, your ter-
minal must have cursor movement capability, and must be able to do re-
verse video.
I wrote this program to test itlib.icn, iscreen.icn, and some
miscellaneous utilities I wrote. It clears the screen, moves the cur-
sor to arbitrary squares on the screen, changes video mode, and in
general exercises the terminal capability database on the target ma-
chine.

Bugs: Most magic cookie terminals just won't work. Terminal really
needs reverse video (it will work without, but won't look as cute).
