Hi, all. I was using Linux, a unix based system and saw a very
interesting game, called "spider" or double-deck solitaire. It worked
under X-windows on most unix based systems and I was hoping that there
was a version for MS-windows..? Does anyone know? If someone could
pass me a pointer, I would really appreciate it!

thanks!

I think this is the same game that's also called Arachnid. There's a Windows
version at ftp.cica.indiana.edu in the /pub/pc/win3/games directory.

Yes indeed it does exist. A very frustrating game in my opinion. Look
in ftp.cica.indiana.edu pub/pc/win3/games (it's free too).
