The sudoku board game is played on a 9x9 grid, divided into rows, columns,
and 9 blocks of 3x3 squares. The objective is to fill the empty squares with
the digits 1-9, so that each row, column, and block contains each of the
digits 1-9 (and hence, it is not possible for any digit to appear twice in
the same row, column or block).

Features:
   - character based (curses) interface;
   - cross-platform (Minix, Unix, Windows) with full source code (ANSI C);
   - generates hints upon request;
   - classification of board difficulty (very easy, easy, medium, hard or
     fiendish);
   - generation of new boards;
   - easy entry of boards published in newspapers, internet, etc...;
   - multiple output formats (text,csv,html,postscript).
