This program is a FOCAL version of the game LIFE, attributed
to John Horton Conway of the Cavendish Laboratory in Cam-
bridge, England. The computer plays with a matrix of loca-
tions, each of which may start as full or empty. Full locations
are said to contain "cells" which survive, die or reproduce
according to simple laws.

Minimum Hardware:
