	to c7.adb. Note: had to make indx() match
	bfs7::endx(); AND revise symbol ordering.
	This is what's in store for caz.adb.
.) likewise for caz.adb: both DONE!
.) upgraded screen colors c7,c9,caz.

6mar21:
.) added pbfs.adb autosolver for c9.adb...
	allowing a full permutation-based key to handle
	cases where each block has a specific goal pos.
	Usable for fifteen, eight.

5mar21:
.) Created alternate character set for csok
	toggled by (c)-key.
.) updated sok solvers for csok.adb.
	Now external solvers no longer use "maxlevels".
