      NAME
           canfield, cfscores - the solitaire card game canfield

      SYNTAX
           /usr/games/canfield
           /usr/games/cfscores

      DESCRIPTION
           If you have never played solitaire before, it is recommended
           that you consult a solitaire instruction book. In Canfield,
           tableau cards may be built on each other downward in
           alternate colors. An entire pile must be moved as a unit in
           building. Top cards of the piles are available to be able to
           be played on foundations, but never into empty spaces.

           Spaces must be filled from the stock. The top card of the
           stock also is available to be played on foundations or built
           on tableau piles. After the stock is exhausted, tableau
           spaces may be filled from the talon and the player may keep
           them open until he wishes to use them.

           Cards are dealt from the hand to the talon by threes and
           this repeats until there are no more cards in the hand or
           the player quits. To have cards dealt onto the talon the
           player types 'ht' for his move. Foundation base cards are
           also automatically moved to the foundation when they become
           available.

           The command 'c' causes canfield to maintain card counting
           statistics on the bottom of the screen. When properly used
           this can greatly increase ones chances of winning.

           The rules for betting are somewhat less strict than those
           used in the official version of the game.  The initial deal
           costs $13.  You may quit at this point or inspect the game.
           Inspection costs $13 and allows you to make as many moves as
           is possible without moving any cards from your hand to the
           talon.  (the initial deal places three cards on the talon;
           if all these cards are used, three more are made available.)
           Finally, if the game seems interesting, you must pay the
           final installment of $26.  At this point you are credited at
           the rate of $5 for each card on the foundation; as the game
           progresses you are credited with $5 for each card that is
           moved to the foundation.  Each run through the hand after
           the first costs $5.  The card counting feature costs $1 for
           each unknown card that is identified.  If the information is
           toggled on, you are only charged for cards that became
           visible since it was last turned on.  Thus the maximum cost
           of information is $34.  Playing time is charged at a rate of
           $1 per minute.

           With no arguments, the program cfscores prints out the
