Why not e-mail the pysol maintainer? I have a feeling he would love to
add one more game, especially if it could score a victory for Linux.

Pysol is wonderful, by the way.

That's because you get five dollars back per card, not one.  I don't 
care about Solitaire enough to try for
a Linux replacement, though.  Teach her the wonders of compiling 2.5 
kernels- quite a gamble, and
addictive as well.

That couldn't be!  The best one could do is to get their money back if they
run out the entire deck.  Talk about a no-win situation.

What she must have is the Vegas rule type solitaire, which charges $52 
for a deck and gives back a buck for each card played. Haven't been able 
to find that.

She is totally addicted to Mahjongg, the shareware one for windows. The 
kde version is quite good. But she likes the Vegas solitaire rules, 
liking to gamble without risking actual $$.

What do you mean by exact?  Patience is the same game, but if you're
looking for the exact menus, etc...  you'd probably better just use Wine
and sol.exe.

KDE's Patience collection is close, and has some other pretty good solitaire games my 
wife likes.
You also might want to get her to try Mahjongg. KDE's implementation is quite 
addictive :-)
