        First a test of your communications program:
              1. This is a Heart ---=>  
              2. This is a Diamond -=>  
              3. This is a Club ----=>  
              4. This is a Space ---=>  

        If you see all the characters above you are able to play
        this game.
        If the club character is missing of if you have a
              +0 on your screen then you need to
        -----=> TURN OFF COMPUSERVE B PROTOCAL <=-----
        This problem seems to only be in certain comm programs and
        is easily rectified as above.









                Old Familiar Solitare Instructions:

        Once you get to playing this you will understand why
        it is called Old Familiar.

        The object of the game is to take a shuffled deck of
        52 cards and get them back into their respective suits.
        Sounds easy right? Well to some it may be to others it
        is a nightmare!

        There are presently 3 different levels that you can play
        this game to accomplish this feat.









        Level 1:
                Flip ONE card at a time with MANY repeats.
                This is the Lowest scoring hand but the one
                with the most likely possibility of succeeding!

        Level 2:
                Flip THREE cards at a time with MANY repeats.
                This level scores a little higher than level one
                and is a little harder to accomplish!

        Level 3:
                Flip ONE card at a time with NO repeats.
                The Hardest level but the Highest scoring also.






        Scoring:
                Points are awarded for:
                        A. Each card sent to the Foundations.
                        B. Each card exposed on any pile.
                        C. Each card removed from the discard deck.

                Additionally at levels 1 and 2 a point will be
                subtracted EACH time you flip over the discard
                deck to go thru it again.

                Whenever you score 51 points higher than your last
                score your points awarded will go up by 1 in each
                future game you play. The more you play each month
                and better your score the higher your future scores.

                All scores and points awarded are reset the beginning
                of each month. This is done when the first person to
                play that month enters the game.
