Version 2.1:
+ Sound effects!
+ Two new games: Bisley and Baker’s Dozen.

+ New "Status Bar" constantly displays score, stats, and count of moves.
+ New "Register" application makes shareware payments easier. We now take credit cards!
+ New "I Paid" checkbox in the Preferences dialog.
+ On-line rules are now in a modeless window: you can play while the rules are displayed.

+ Fixed a bug that hosed Undo/Redo after "Revert to Saved."
+ Fixed a bug in the scoring of Aces High.
+ Fixed a bug that could sometimes cause crashes when starting new games.

+ Recompiled with Symantec's Think C 7.0.4.
+ Moved the "About Solitaire" chapter out of the User Guide and into the Games Guide.
Version 2.0.3:
+ Improvements to Beleagured Castle: Now allows dragging partial builds as a shortcut to dragging the cards one at a time, if the cards are in sequence and there are enough empty tableaus. Wins are now detected and reported earlier.

+ Added the "Auto Scroll" menu item, allowing the user to turn auto-scrolling on and off.
+ Now allows dragging partial builds in Forty Thieves as a shortcut to dragging the cards one at a time, if the cards are in suit and there are enough empty tableaus.
