===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
Solitaire Suite is a collection of seven challenging and addictive
solitaire card games. It consists of:
- SOLSUITE.EXE: This is a graphical front-end for all the games in
this collection. It makes running the games as easy as pointing
and clicking on an icon.
- Calculation: Also known as "Broken Intervals", this game requires
the utmost in skill and logic. It offers challenging but
rewarding play, and special on-screen assistance to make things a
little easier.
- Concentration: This is one of the classic solitaires, popular
with all ages. It is easy enough for children to play, but
offers enough challenge for adults.
- Idiot's Delight: Also known as "Aces Up", this game is extremely
simple to play, quite addictive, but maddenly difficult to win.
Success depends on skill and strategy, but even more on the luck
of the cards.
- Midnight Oil: Also known as "La Belle Lucie" and "Three Shuffles
and a Draw", this game is one of the best solitaires, offering
both challenging play and a reasonable chance to win. It is also
highly addictive; once you get into it, you'll be "burning the
midnight oil" more often than not.
- Monte Carlo: Also known as "Weddings" and "Double and Quits",
this game is easy to learn and simple to play, yet challenging
and addictive as well. The game offers a reasonable opportunity
for skill, yet winning often depends as much on luck as making
the right moves.
- Osmosis: Also known as "Treasure Trove", this solitaire offers an
attractive layout and a decent chance of success, but requires
skillful play and a bit of luck to win consistently.
- Royal Cotillion: This is a two-deck solitaire that requires a bit
of skill and a bit of luck, along with a good measure of
concentration.
Solitaire Suite is shareware. As such, you can play it, copy it, and
give it away as you wish. In fact, you are encouraged to distribute
the program to friends, family, and strangers alike. This includes
distribution via electronic bulletin board systems (BBS), user's
groups, and disk-distribution services. All that I ask is that the
package remains unaltered and complete.

===== Installation =====================================
If you received this program as a ZIP archive, un-zip it into any
convenient directory.
If you're planning to run Solitaire Suite from DOS, create a directory
for it (C:\SOLSUITE is suggested) and copy the files into that directory.
Run SOLSUITE.EXE to play the games.
If you're planning to run Solitaire Suite from Windows, you may use the
SETUP.EXE program to install the program to a directory of your
choosing, and to create a Program Manager group (or entry on the Windows
95 "Start" menu).
If you've received this program directly from the author, there will be
an INSTALL.EXE program on the distribution disk. This program will copy
the files from the floppy to your hard disk. From there, you may either
run SOLSUITE.EXE directly from DOS, or use the SETUP.EXE program to
set it up under Windows.
If you encounter problems running the program, refer to SOLSUITE.TXT for
some troubleshooting suggestions.
