spider(6) GAMES AND DEMOS spider(6)
NAME
spider - play double deck solitaire
SYNOPSIS
spider
DESCRIPTION
spider is a particularly challenging double-deck solitaire.
Unlike most solitaires, it provides extraordinary opportuni-
ties for the skillful player to overcome bad luck in the
deal by means of careful analysis and complex manipulations.
The spider program does not actually play the game for you,
but rather takes the place of the cards (by displaying the
tableau on the screen) and keeping a record of the game so
that you can follow out long lines of play without losing
track of where you started from.
spider when compiled with XView has a property sheet for
defining resources. The property sheet is on the "File"
menu item. To be sure spot help is active, set the environ-
ment variable HELPDIR to the directory containing the
spider.info file.
