I must apologize, this program was written, tested and compiled to run on NeXTstep version 2.1 on 68040 hardware. I will try and compile it (find someone to compile it) to run under NeXTSTEP versions 3.2, but I cannot guarantee it.

The bottom pipe piece on the right is the next pipe piece which will be placed in the square selected by the player. The Speed up flow menu selection will speed up the flow. Once the flow has been sped up you may not insert any more pieces or pause the water flow. The Pause menu selection will allow you to pause the water flow. Pressing it again will resume the water flow. Scoring 20 Points are added for each pipe piece in which the water flow starts. 30 Points are added for each unidirectional pipe piece in which the water flow starts. 40 Points are added for each intersecting pipe piece in which the water flow has started in both axes. 10 Points are subtracted for each unused pipe piece at the end of each level. End of level The level ends when it is no longer possible for the water flow to continue. End of game The game ends when the water flow cannot continue anymore and the number of remaining pieces is greater than zero.
