  34. The solitaire programs on this disk are described below:                 
  35.                                                                          
  36. SPIDER - Unlike many solitaire games, good strategy and skillful play are
  37.      more important than good luck in winning the game of Spider.  This  
  38.      game is played with two decks of cards which are easily manipulated 
  39.      on the computer screen.  Spider is easy to learn but difficult to   
  40.      master.  This game is entertaining, challenging, and addictive.     
  41.                                                                          
  42. KLONDIKE - This is probably today's most popular solitaire game and is   
  43.      known by many different names including Fascination, Demon, and     
  44.      Small Triangle.  Three levels of difficulty are available and a     
  45.      unique scoring system has been added to accurately reflect how well 
  46.      each game is played.                                                
  47.                                                                          
  48. CANFIELD - This game was made famous by the owner of a Saratoga gambling 
  49.      saloon in the 1890's.  Mr. Canfield sold a deck of cards for $50 and
  50.      then paid the player $5 for every card he played to the field.  Our 
  51.      computerized version gives you the chance to see if you could have  
  52.      beaten Mr. Canfield at his own game.                                
  53.                                                                          
  54. This program has the following features:                                 
  55.                                                                          
  56.      - A custom designed graphics set which clearly shows the games on   
  57.        the screen.  The poorly formed ASCII characters are not used.     
  58.      - The games are played by using the cursor keys to point and the    
  59.        function keys to execute the desired action.                      
  60.      - You can choose from 48 different screen color combinations.       
  61.      - All of the games have complex scoring algorithms which accurately 
  62.        evaluate how well a game has been played even if it is not won.   
  63.      - On-line help is available at all times.                           
  64.      - Complete error trapping and automatic error messages if desired.  
  65.      - Multiple levels of difficulty.                                    
  66.      - A complete instruction manual.                                    
  67.
