Solitaire Version 2.1 
Source Distribution for Game Engine and Game Modules
Requires NEXTSTEP 3.1 or above (tested with 3.2)

----

Changes for 2.1 (from 2.0):

* Even better artwork.
* New pre-draw cards option which increases game performance.
* Custom image preference for the card backs.
* Game module clean-ups.
* New game module: FortyThieves
* Consolidation of submissions for easier downloading and installation.

Old .solitaire bundles will work with this new version, however,
small clean-ups have also been made to the game modules.

For the 2.1 release, I have archived the game engine and game
modules sources together in order to make downloading everything easier.
I also adopted the naming scheme from ftp.informatik.uni-muenchen.com,
which I hope is considered helpful. There are now only two archives
created for submission:

	Solitaire.2.1.NI.b.tar.gz	
	(MAB's for Solitaire game engine and all available game modules)

	Solitaire.2.1.s.tar.gz
	(All sources and docs for game engine and modules)
		
Source for the most recent game modules for the 2.1 release include:

	FortyThieves.solitaire 1.0
	Klondike.solitaire 2.1
	Pyramid.solitaire 2.1
	Spider.solitaire 1.1
	Tenpile.solitaire 1.1
	
Developer's documentation is in the Documentation directory.

----

Install the Solitaire.app binary in a directory such as ~/Apps or
/LocalApps. Game modules can be installed in the application wrapper,
/in ~/Library/Solitaire, or in LocalLibrary/Solitaire.
