Albert:
Here is the description I read while I was trying to decide whether to
download KPat:
https://games.kde.org/game.php?game=kpat

It really needs to say that over 2 billion deals can be selected for
each game.  It is the only free Spider game I know of with this
capability.  While it is true that Microsoft XP Spider also has this
capability, it takes some work to insert the deal number, like using a
hexadecimal editor.
