history of the REXX program

This REXX program started as a simple program just to supply hints to difficult sudoku puzzles.

As it evolved, it provided more types (kinds) of hints, eventually evolving into solving the puzzle.

One of the design criteria was to present the sudoku puzzle in a conventional manner as possible, and
to display it as large as possible while still fitting on a ("standard") terminal screen (a "DOS prompt" windows).
