NAME
       PySolFC - a collection of more than 1000 solitaire games


SYNOPSIS
       pysol.py [OPTION]... [FILE]


DESCRIPTION
       PySolFC is a collection of more than 1000 solitaire card games.  It stands for PySol Fan Club Edition, as
       it is a fork of (the now unmaintained) PySol Solitaire.

       There are games that use the 52 card International Pattern deck, games for the 78 card Tarock deck, eight
       and  ten  suit  Ganjifa  games,  Hanafuda  games, Matrix games, Mahjongg games, and games for an original
       hexadecimal-based deck.

       Its features include modern  look  and  feel  (uses  Ttk  widget  set),  multiple  cardsets  and  tableau
       backgrounds,  sound,  unlimited  undo,  player statistics, a hint system, demo games, a solitaire wizard,
       support for user written plug-ins, an integrated HTML help browser, and lots of documentation.

       The integrated help browser can be started by pressin <F1> after the program has launched.

       PySolFC is written in 100% pure Python and runs out-of-the-box on Unix (X11), MS Windows  and  Mac  OS  X
       platforms.
