Solo Cards is Shareware
-----------------------
The shareware version of Solo Cards limits you in the number of times you can play
each game. All games can be played 5 times, except for Klondike, Freecell, Canfield,
and Yukon which have no limit. To enjoy unlimited play you must order the registered
copy of the game. You should also consider that shareware authors earn money only
through your registration fees. If you enjoy this game, please, buy it; I will be
able to enhance it and develop new games that, I hope, you'll appreciate too.

Solo Cards costs US$ 20.00 or 120.00FF or 20.00 Euro.
