                           Portfolio Peaks Version 1.0
                           Copyright 1993 - Tony Yeung

    Portfolio Peaks is a solitaire card game.  The object of the game is
    to accumulate points by removing cards from the playing area.  The
    game uses a standard deck of cards.  The suits of the cards are not
    shown on the screen due to screen limitations.  Following is a
    desciption of the game screen:


              Play Area        Cards Remaining in Deck
                                     Deck
            Ŀ   Ŀ   Ŀ   V Ŀ<
               23   Esc=Quit
                R=Redeal
         ϻ  Ŀ Enter=Flip
         T8K2A48JQ3  A Space=Pick
         ͼ<< Discard Pile
        Score:    0   Run:  0   Selected Card
        STotl:    0 Games:  0 SAvg:     0

    The numbers on the screen are:

         Score:  Points awarded for the current game.
           Run:  Points scored since the last flip from the deck
         STotl:  Session point total
         Games:  Games played this session
          SAvg:  Average points per game for this session

    Use the space bar to remove a card from the Play Area.  The card can
    only be removed if the card preceeds or follows the current card on
    the Discard Pile.  In Portfolio Peaks, the King precedes the Ace which
    precedes the Two.

    Each card you remove from the Play Area scores points.  The number of
    points awarded depends on the number of cards removed since you last
    drew from the Deck.  The first card is worth one point;  the second,
    two points;  the third, three points and so on.

    Clearing a card from the top row scores bonus points.  The first two
    are worth 15 points and clearing the Play Area scores 30 points.

    You can use the 'R' key to redeal at any point.  However, there is a
    five point penalty for each card remaining in the Play Area.  This
    still might be better than losing five points for each additional
    card drawn from the Deck.
