I've got them all on my 8.1 machine. I would suppose I could put the same folders in 10, never gave it thought or tried it.... hmmm something to do tonight.

I have ver 8 and I see they are up to 10.1 now. It's not a bad annoyance, it's only once in week(s).

What's a decent free hex editor? http://mh-nexus.de/en/hxd/ Do you know what you are editing? I have a list of the changes. I did a diff a long time ago. At least I think I still have the changes. It's only like 2 or 3 bytes per pgm.

I play solitaire on my Win8. My wife plays it on her Win8.1. In both cases, I just stuck sol.exe and cards.dll from my XP machine into folders on the newer machines. No patching was necessary. -- dadiOH ____________________________ Winters getting colder? Tired of the rat race? Taxes out of hand? Maybe just ready for a change?
