Hello Lou,

After going to my favorite games freeware site (www.caiman.us) and NOT
finding any hearts card games there, I went looking and found a good one
at...
http://www.geocities.com/thanoscardgames/main2.html
Click on the "point trick taking games"
Scroll down and you will see it.
It's a 3.54 Meg download and needs to be installed. I played one game
and it looks quite good.

BTW: It IS freeware.

Later today I'll do a review of it for www.Caiman.us and it should be up
within a few days.

I tried to find it, but no luck.
Thanks for trying.

I am not quite sure if it is worthwhile; this is the dumbed-down free
version of a shareware game

http://dq.com/cgi-bin/download.pl?what=fh&link=D&from=L

Else I mostly found "free" software that was in fact only a "free
download, try 30 days and throw it away, or PAY". Not my kind of
freeware.

There are a lot of sites that link to a "free" game on MVPsoft.com; but
I have the nagging feeling that it is in fact another trial version. So
why do some sites set a direct link to the ftp server, pub directory?

Ah, Information. A good, too valuable these days, to give it away, just
so, at no cost.

very strange rock and inscribed these words:

If you contact me privately, I'd be happy to send you the uncorrupted
files from my hard drive. (And there's no viruses, as I am very
careful!) Just tell me which ones you need. Make sure you use
"MSHearts" in the subject line so I won't autodelete your e-mail.

Ok Lou,

All hope isn't lost. It'll be on the Caiman website in a couple of
days.
