This Info-Mac submission is a patch installer that updates Eric's Ultimate Solitaire (originally published by Delta Tao Software, later distributed via Spectrum HoloByte) from version 1.0.2 to version 1.0.5. It was uploaded in March 1995 by Benjamin Trumbull alongside other Delta Tao updaters covering the Ultimate Solitaire and Spaceward Ho! product lines.
What it patches
The archive contains a binary patcher that walks an existing Eric's Ultimate Solitaire 1.0.2 installation forward to the 1.0.5 maintenance release, addressing crashes and gameplay corrections accumulated across the intermediate point releases.
Eric's Ultimate Solitaire
The host application is a curated collection of solitaire variants by Eric Snider, originally released by Delta Tao Software for Classic Mac OS. It bundles classic patiences such as Klondike, FreeCell, Pyramid, Canfield and Spider with the Mac toolbox look-and-feel of the System 7 era.
How to apply the update
Decode the BinHex with StuffIt Expander or BinHex 4.0, mount the resulting installer, and point it at the existing Eric's Ultimate Solitaire 1.0.2 application. The patcher rewrites the application resource fork in place; back up the original before running.
Distribution
Submitted to the Info-Mac archive at game/com/ult-solitaire-102-to-5-updt.hqx in BinHex 4.0 format. A companion file in the same directory updates 1.0.4 to 1.0.5.
