The display on the 82 is slower than it is on the 85 (which i
orginally programmed it for) and flickered badly so i had to add in
some halt instructions in the main loop of the game and this made it
where i had to increase the rate the cursor moved.  and, i could not
have kept the size of the card the same.  the display width of the 82
is 96 pixels.  the cards on the 85/6 version are 16 pixels wide.  16
pixels * 7 rows of cards = 112.  112 is > 96.  don't blame that on me.
and '10' is too wide to fit on the card in the given amount of pixels
i had to use.  You cannot put the suit picture in the middle of the
card since it will not be able to be seen when it is below another
card.  BTW, if you don't like it, i am not going to force you to play
it.  If you think it sucks so badly, please don't play.  I am *sure*
that you can make your own, better solitaire game.  I don't even own
an 82.  i just thought that some people might enjoy the game if i
converted it to the 82.  sorry if this game is not up to your
standards.  (and i know that i replied to both people's messages in
this one.)
