Games/!Solitare/!Help
This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.
Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

=============================================================================
This program is copyright but you are permitted to copy/modify the program
(both source and executable versions where applicable) provided that you
obey the conditions set out below:
* The program is not copied for profit. You are permitted to ask for a
"handling charge" to cover postage, work etc and the price of the disc
(if supplied) but you may not charge money for the software. You must
copy the entire application.
* Any modifications should be sent to me and I'll write back giving
you a version number for your modified copy of the program. This way, I
can update the master copy and we won't have any confusion over which
version of the program is the newest.
* You may include parts of the code in your own programs provided that
they are clearly identified as such.
* This application is version 1.12 and supercedes all previous versions,
which should be deleted once this copy is installed (unless, of course,
you want to waste disc space).
* This section bounded by the bars of equals signs is reproduced in full,
unchanged
=============================================================================
Playing the Game
================
When you load Solitare (by double-clicking on its icon) the program will
install itself on the icon bar and open a window showing the board. You can
now play the game by dragging the red pegs from one hole to the next. You
can only move by jumping over a piece into an empty square and you cannot go
diagonally. The piece jumped over is removed. To win, you must end up with
just one peg in the centre hole.
If you close the board's window, you can re-open it by clicking on
Solitare's icon located on the right hand side of the icon bar. Use the menu
button to start a new game or kill the application. The Undo option deletes
the last move you made and is useful for correcting small mistakes.
