NAME

       make-gnome-freecell-board, make-aisleriot-freecell-board, make-microsoft-freecell-board, make-pysol-freecell-board - Programs to generate
       boards to be used as input to Freecell Solver.

SYNOPSIS

       program [-t] board-number

       or for make-pysol-freecell-board:

       program [-t] [-F] board-number [game-string]

       or for make-aisleriot-freecell-board:

       program [-t] board-number [game-string]

DESCRIPTION

       These programs are command-line programs that can generate the initial board of the Freecell games of several popular Solitaire
       implementations. Those boards can be in turn be inputted to fc-solve by means of a pipeline, or placed inside a file for safe-keeping.

       make-pysol-freecell-board and make-aisleriot-freecell-board also accept an optional third argument which indicates the game type. This type
       defaults to  Freecell, but is useful for generating the boards of other games.  Note that  using this flag does not preclude one from using
       the "--game" flag of fc-solve.

       make_pysol_freecell_board.py accepts another parameter called -F or --pysolfc that deals the PySolFC boards instead of the classic PySol
       ones.

       A common paradigm for using those programs is something like:

	   bash:~$ make-microsoft-freecell-board 11982 | fc-solve -l gi

       If the "-t" option is specified, then the 10 cards are printed with "T"'s, instead of "10"'s. While this does not have any effect on fc-
       solve it may prove useful for other solvers or solitaire implementations which do not accept "10"'s.

       Here is a short description of each program:

       make-gnome-freecell-board

       Generate the boards of the standalone Freecell program that comes with the GNOME desktop.

       make-aisleriot-freecell-board

       Generate the Freecell boards of GNOME's AisleRiot.

       make-pysol-freecell-board

       A Python script that generates the boards of the various games of PySol.

       make-microsoft-freecell-board

       A program that generates the boards of Microsoft Freecell and of the Freecell Pro implementation of Freecell.
