+.SH NAME
+canfield, cfscores \- the solitaire card game canfield
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B /usr/games/canfield
+.br
+.B /usr/games/cfscores
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+If you have never played solitaire before, it is recommended
+that you consult a solitaire instruction book. In
+Canfield, tableau cards may be built on each other downward
+in alternate colors. An entire pile must be moved as a unit
+in building. Top cards of the piles are available to be able
+to be played on foundations, but never into empty spaces.
+.PP
+Spaces must be filled from the stock. The top card of
+the stock also is available to be played on foundations or
+built on tableau piles. After the stock is exhausted,
+tableau spaces may be filled from the talon and the player may
+keep them open until he wishes to use them.
+.PP
+Cards are dealt from the hand to the talon by threes
+and this repeats until there are no more cards in the hand
+or the player quits. To have cards dealt onto the talon the
+player types 'ht' for his move. Foundation base cards are
+also automatically moved to the foundation when they become
+available.
+.PP
+The command 'c' causes
+.I canfield
+to maintain card counting statistics
+on the bottom of the screen. 
+When properly used this can greatly increase ones chances of 
+winning.
+.PP
+The rules for betting are somewhat less strict than
+those used in the official version of the game.
+The initial deal costs $13.
+You may quit at this point or inspect the game.
+Inspection costs $13 and allows you to make as many
+moves as is possible without moving any cards from your hand
+to the talon.
+(the initial deal places three cards on the talon;
+if all these cards are used,
+three more are made available.)
+Finally, if the game seems interesting,
+you must pay the final installment of $26.
+At this point you are
+credited at the rate of $5 for each card on the foundation;
+as the game progresses you are credited with $5 for each
+card that is moved to the foundation.
+Each run through the hand after the first costs $5.
+The card counting feature
+costs $1 for each unknown card that is identified.
+If the information is toggled on,
+you are only charged for cards
+that became visible since it was last turned on.
+Thus the maximum cost of information is $34.
+Playing time is charged at a rate of $1 per minute.
+.PP
+With no arguments, the program
+.I cfscores
+prints out the current status of your canfield account.
+If a user name is specified,
+it prints out the status of their canfield account.
+If the
+.B \-a
+flag is specified,
+it prints out the canfield accounts for all users that have
+played the game since the database was set up.
