2. OVERVIEW
   ~~~~~~~~
	FreeCell is a game of patience played with all 52
	cards of a deck. Unlike conventional patience, each
	game of FreeCell is thought to be solvable so it is
	more like a set of individually challenging puzzles.

	The object of the game is to put all cards in suit 
	and increasing numeric order (starting with the Ace)
	on the four home cells.

	Cards can be moved either to the free cells or on 
	top of another card that is of the opposite colour
	and next numeric value eg. 7 Hearts on 8 Spades or
	Queen Diamonds on King Clubs. A card can also be moved
	from a column or free cell to an empty column.

	The system will automatically put cards on the home
	cells when they are available. It will not automatically
	move cards that could still be used in the deck.
