- This is the shareware version of Klondike 1.1 for Pilot.
-
- You are free to use this program for up to 30 days in order to

-
- ------ Installation ------
-
- To install Klondike 1.1 onto your Pilot, run the INSTAPP.EXE program
- which resides in the same directory as the Pilot Desktop software.
- This program will allow you to specify that a .PRC file should be
- downloaded to the Pilot during the next hotsync.
-
-
- ------ Game play ------
-
- The main play of the game involves moving cards from one pile to
- another. There are two modes which can be used: 'drag' and 'tap'.
-
- Drag mode: Tap and hold the stylus on the card(s) you want to move.
- Drag the cards to their destination.
-
- Tap mode: Tap and release the stylus on the card(s) you want to move.
- This will select the cards. Then tap the stylus on the destination
- position for the cards, and they will move.
-
- If a card is face down, tapping on it will turn it face up. Tapping
- on the face-down deck will turn over one or three cards, depending
- on the mode of play which is selected. If the deck is empty, tapping
- on the 'X' will turn over the discard pile.
-
- Pressing the page-up key will move as many cards as possible to the
- ace piles. This feature is handy after a game has been won, although
- it works at any time.
-
- Pressing the page-down button will undo the last move.
-
-
