- This is an X windows based game of the casino game blackjack.
-The program is currently written to use the Qt toolkit from Troll Tech.
-For more information on Qt see "http://www.trolltech.com/".

- I have always enjoyed the game of blackjack. When I first played in
-a casino I lost all the money I had brought. After reading some books
-on blackjack and the FAQ for rec.gambling.blackjack, I now know that there
-is a basic strategy to follow. The strategy is based on the odds of each
-hand and the dealers up card. I wrote this program so I could practice
-the basic strategy of blackjack. The basic strategy is in the program
-and a help level can be set to help the user learn to play by these rules.
-My blackjack game has improved greatly.
-
- I first wrote this program in tcl/tk. It was OK, but I have trouble
-remembering all the syntax and parsing rules. The tcl/tk version was also
-noticably slow on my 386 running Linux. Qt has been very good as a C++
-GUI library and is not slow at all on my 386.

+Blackjack is an X-windows based version of the casino game. The
+program is used to help learn the basic strategy of the game of
+blackjack. The help level can be set from a mode that tells you
+each correct move to make, to one that only warns you by a pop up
+window if you make a "bad" play. Betting limits, number of decks,
+number of splits, and shuffle point can be set. This program uses
+the Qt toolkit.
