 - The settings file -

The settings file is, of course, vital to the execution of the program, so you
probably want to keep this readme somewhere handy if you happen to delete it.
By now, the program isn't quite so cranky if it's missing--it'll just make a
default file for you if it can't find one.

For those of you who are inclined to crack it open in Notepad and have a
gander, it is indeed in plain ASCII so you can't do any harm. The stuff
inside corresponds to:

Use system time for rand seed flag
	* 1 = true, 0 = false
Number of times to shuffle deck (each shuffle is 52 2-card swaps)
	* 2-100, or 0 (i.e., "don't shuffle")
Display deck (useful for debugging)
	* 1 = true, 0 = false
Player names (human player's first)(should be one word with no spaces, but I'm
not sure if it might work even if it's more)
	ASCII string

The default file is:

1
50
0
Player1
