SYNOPSIS

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.
