         BY BARBARA SCHULAK..    THIS GA
ME OF 'OLD PATIENCE' MAY.BE THE GAME FRO
M WHICH ALL PLAYING.CARD PATIENCE GAMES 
WERE DERIVED.  IN.OTHER WORDS, IT'S OLD,
 IT'S BASIC,.AND, SINCE IT'S PROGRAMMED 
BY BARBARA.SCHULAK, IT'S GOOD!..    THE 
INSTRUCTIONS ARE ALWAYS.AVAILABLE FOR YO
U TO SEE BUT ONCE YOU.TRY A GAME YOU WON
'T NEED THEM.  JUST.MOVE THE CURSOR TO T
HE CARD YOU WANT.TO MOVE, PRESS RETURN, 
MOVE THE.CURSOR TO THE PILE YOU WANT TO 
PLACE.THE CARD UPON AND PRESS RETURN AGA
IN...    THE IDEA IS TO BUILD FOUR PILES
.FROM ACE (LOW) TO KING (HIGH) BY.TURNIN
G OVER THE CARDS OF A STANDARD.DECK ONE 
AT A TIME.  YOU HAVE FOUR.WASTE PILES TO
 PLACE CARDS THAT WON'T.FIT ON ANY OF TH
E FOUR FOUNDATION.PILES.  THE GENERAL ST
RATEGY IS TO.TRY TO KEEP FROM COVERING U
P ANY LOW.CARDS ON THE WASTE PILES WITH 
HIGHER.CARDS THAT WILL TAKE MUCH LONGER 
TO.PLAY...    BARBARA SAYS THAT THE CHAN
CES OF.WINNING ARE ABOUT ONE IN FIVE, BU
T AS.USUAL WITH HER GAMES, I PLAY AND PL
AY.AND NEVER WIN.  THEN I PLAY SOME.MORE
.  THEN I MUMBLE TO MYSELF, "JUST.ONCE M
ORE AND I'LL GET BACK TO WORK.".THEN I T
AKE THE REST OF THE DAY OFF..    THIS MA
KES THE FOURTH COLLECTION.OF PUZZLES THA
T BARBARA SCHULAK HAS.PUBLISHED WITH US 
AND I LOOK FORWARD.TO MANY MORE.  MY PHI
LOSOPHY ON THE.FUTURE OF COMPUTERS IS PR
ETTY WELL.KNOWN BY REGULAR READERS OF LO
ADSTAR,.AND PUZZLES, ESPECIALLY PUZZLES 
THAT.ARE EASY TO MANIPULATE ON SCREEN BU
T.HARD TO MANAGE ON PAPER, FIT RIGHT.INT
O MY WORLD-VIEW.  WHEN MOVING MY.170-LB 
BODY FROM PLACE TO PLACE.BECOMES TOO EXP
ENSIVE FOR THE GOOD OF.THE PLANET, YOU'L
L FIND ME.ECONOMICALLY LODGED IN FRONT O
F MY.15-FOOT SCREEN PLAYING BARBARA'S.CO
MPUTER PASTIMES...    WITH ANY LUCK, YOU
'LL HAVE YOUR.OWN WALL-SCREEN.  THANKS,
