2. OVERVIEW
   ~~~~~~~~
	FreeCell is a game of patience played with all 52
	cards of a deck. Unlike conventional patience, each
	game of FreeCell is thought to be solvable so it is
	more like a set of individually challenging puzzles.

	The object of the game is to put all cards in suit 
	and increasing numeric order (starting with the Ace)
	on the four home cells.

	Cards can be moved either to the free cells or on 
	top of another card that is of the opposite colour
	and next numeric value eg. 7 Hearts on 8 Spades or
	Queen Diamonds on King Clubs

	The system will automatically put cards on the home
	cells when they are available. It will not automatically
	move cards that could still be used in the deck.

5. HISTORY
   ~~~~~~~
	27Mar96 V1.0    First Release
	30Mar96 V1.01   Crashed sometimes when moving from Deck to
			Free cells and then back to the Deck.
	05Apr96 V1.02   Reduced number of drawables kept open by 
			using one for ALL suits instead of one per
			suit. Keep "special" drawable open for 
			cursors use to fix hangup bug.
	07Apr96 V1.02   Fixed the "Exit Number 25" problem when the
			"\APP\FREECELL" directory doesn't exist. Now
			it creates the directory automatically if it
			doesnt exist.
	09Apr96 V1.03   Added Undo capability for last move, or
			moves if the computer made several automatic
			ones as a result of yours.
			Fixed bug in help. Don't ignore the drive
			info obtained when FREECELL.RSC is found on
			other than the default drive.
	20Apr96 V1.04   Fixed bug where valid moves become invalid
			after aborting a move from Freecell to Deck.
			Add "Smart" cursor movement when dropping a 
			card. The cursor stick's to valid choices
			only when appropriate.
	28May96 V1.05   Changed the crippling to a fixed number of
			games (50) instead of a one month trial.
	05Jun96 V1.06   Allow the FreeCells to participate in the 
			automatic movement to HomeCells. 
			Fixed a bug generating "Invalid Move"s when
			it shouldn't.
			Fixed a bug in the 50 games limit crippling
			that caused registration to be ignored!
