I cannot find the Deck Editor. Where is it?

nospam@example.com (Simone) — Mon, 10 Dec 2007 09:43:00 -0800

The Deck Editor is shipped together with Wiz Solitaire. When you download and mount the dmg archive, you'll find these files:

WizSolitaire-*.dmg contents

Typically, you should drag'n'drop the whole WizSolitaire folder into your Applications directory. In this way you'll also install the Space deck, which you can use as an alternative to the Standard one (other decks are available for download).

Is it possible to play Spider with more than one suit?

nospam@example.com (Simone) — Sat, 08 Dec 2007 10:53:00 -0800

Yes: you can use the New Game with Options... item under the Game menu to choose how many decks you wish to play with.

You don't need to do it every time you start a new game, since it will remember the last used setting.

The same menu item can be used to set the options for other games as well (for instance, in Klondike you can use it to change the number of cards dealt when clicking on the deck or to allow partial column moves).

Do I need to pay to upgrade XYZ to the latest release?

nospam@example.com (Simone) — Mon, 27 Aug 2007 10:44:00 -0700

Unless specified otherwise, our general policy is that you can freely upgrade to any new minor release of the products you've bought.

For instance, if you've bought Wiz Solitaire 1.24, you're free to upgrade to 1.25, 1.26 and so on. When/if version 2.0 will be released, you will probably need to get a new license.

How much does XYZ cost in USD (or another currency)?

Why the new version is 2.1 while the previous one was 2.90?

nospam@example.com (Simone) — Wed, 18 Jul 2007 22:21:10 -0700

Version numbers used by the products on this site are not decimals^*: they follow the scheme <version>.<revision>

Thus, 2.10 is not the same as 2.1: the latest MP3 Cat is version 2, revision 10. The previous one was actually 2.9.

^* it would be too boring if everyone followed this rule: some people really use them as they were decimals or even marketing tools There's a quite long article on several versioning schemes on Wikipedia for the most curious ones.
