2. BETA INTRODUCTION
--------------------
When Solitaire Deluxe was first released many people had ask me what was the
format for coding a plug-in. It has been nearly half a year since I wrote
Solitaire Deluxe and when I look at the code now my reaction is 'Did I write
this mess!' Anyway the Solitaire Deluxe Development Kit (SDDK) is now here
and my questions are, will anyone be able to understand what I have written,
and will anyone now be interested to code a plug-in. If I get a positive
response then the SDDK will continue to be improved.

So whats does the SDDK have? It contains a debugger for the actual testing 
of the plug-in, it also contains the source code for Golf, with full comments
and the source code for Klondike, unfinished and with no comments, both are 
available for your reference. The description of the plug-in format is not
very clear at the moment so my next job will be to describe the format of the
plug-in in more detail.

Remember if you use the SDDK email me and let me know <fatcatz@fatcatz.tm>


3. INSTALLATION
---------------
The SDDK can be installed anywhere but it is recommended that it has it's own
directory.

You must have Solitaire Deluxe installed for the Solitaire Debugger to work.

I have also supplied the Klondike source code, it is unfinished and the code
is in a mess but feel free to have a look. Believe me my programming skills
have improved since I coded (attempted anyway) Klondike.
