 **==================**

 **a. How to Play Diablo**
 **-----------------------**

        There are many variations of the game of Solitaire,
        Diablo Solitaire is one variation.

        Each game round starts with the four aces at the top.
        These cards form the foundation. The remaining cards
        are placed in 12 tableau piles of four cards each.

        The foundation piles are built up in suit from Ace to
        King. And the tableau piles can be built down in suit.
        The tableau piles are redealt by clicking on the
        'Deal' button.

        Cards can be redealt without limit until the game is
        blocked, or is won by moving all of the tableau cards
        to the foundation.

        If the game says you have insufficient memory, or if it crashes,
        try rebooting without loading any TSR programs, such as your
