Solitaire Version 2.1a 
MAB (triple-fat) Distribution for Game Engine and Game Modules (i486, m68k, HP-PA)
Requires NEXTSTEP 3.1 or above (tested with 3.2)

----

Changes for 2.1a (from 2.1):
* recompiled to work on HP-PA processors.


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 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)
	
The most recent game modules for the 2.1 release are:

	FortyThieves.solitaire 1.0
	Klondike.solitaire 2.1
	Pyramid.solitaire 2.1
	Spider.solitaire 1.1
	Tenpile.solitaire 1.1

----

Install the Solitaire.app binary in a directory such as ~/Apps or
/LocalApps. In this distribution, the game modules are pre-installed
in the application wrapper. Any new game modules can be installed
in the application wrapper, in ~/Library/Solitaire, or in
/LocalLibrary/Solitaire.

----

The Solitaire application is freeware, please enhance by writing
new games! Developer's documentation is in the Documentation
directory of the source code distribution.
