+Hello,
+
+this is the very first release of kpat, the KDE solitaire patience game.
+
+It is an almost unchanged "patience" from Paul Olav Tvete, who uploaded
+this stuff some months ago on www.troll.no.
+
+My changes are so far:
+
+ - renamed the stuff kpat-0.1
+ - improved drag'n'drop (no more weird jumping of cards)
+ - improved look (shaded borders around the cards and piles)
+ - hopefully improved cards-background
+ - "very easy"-option for klondike to give only one card.
+ - unset wholeColumn for klondike, but this all belongs into OPTIONS
+
+Anway, kpat is IMO already yet the best X-based solitaire-like game,
+thanks to Paul Olav Tvete and Qt :-)
+
+
+Greets,
+
+ Matthias

+
+----- original README (probably Paul):
+
+This is an implementation of patience (solitaire). It consists of a
+general class library and six games implemented using it.
+
+I wrote this program when learning Qt. There are a number of things I
+would have done differently now. One of the silliest is that all the
+intelligence lies in the cards (which are individual widgets, by the way)
+instead of in a Patience class.
+
+There are a lot of static variables. Don't try to instantiate more than one
+dealer at a time -- that way lies madness.
+
+The general base classes could doubtlessly have been a lot more general.
