Hi Dave - long time no see.

This is very cool.
I remember using QBasic for "PointWriter" with Christian nevado.

Maybe I should make more use of it.

The game looks really good - I just haven't played Solitaire since ... 1993?

So for mouth-breathing simpletons like me, you should include a button for
rules, or a text file in your distro.   ;)

Hope you're doing well.   I've acquired some nice launchers since we last
talked. Plenty of preps. Lots of mistakes, and lessons learned.

Wishing you all the best.

- BE
