To port programs from Usgard to Rigel or Rigel to Usgard, for the most
part, is extremely simple.  It only took about 30 minutes or so to
port solytare from rigel to usgard.  there are some people who are
extremely memory conscience, so they can play the rigel version since
it is smaller, but some people may want to play Sqrxz too, so there is
a usgard version.  and now, someone has ported my game to phatOS.
time out of my life?  0.  so if someone wants to use phatOS and play
my game, they can no problem.  variety is not a bad thing.
