Sorry,
I think I got this a little wrong.
I just saved the FreeCellBord and not the surrounding FreeCell morph.
I hope you can see what I mean though, if anyone is really interested
in solving this problem (if it isn't already solved somewhere) I will =
mail
the whole thing to him by private email (to keep list traffic low).

  Squeakers, Gamers.

  Some time ago I asked for the presence of a special bug in
  FreeCell and was asked to describe a way to reproduce it.
  Now I finally got round to it and it appears to be still active.
  I included a snapshot of my FreeCellBoard as a Morph
  (I hope this works).
  Now in this situation you may move the eight of spades(?)
  (in the 3rd collumn form the left in the fourth row) into
  the free collumn (but not form there to the red nine on the left).
  This is not possible by moving the cards one by one, so
  this is a bug. Are there any fixes to FreeCell not included
  in updates up to 1686 ?

  Thanks, Torge

  P.S.: was anyone able to continue the game from the=20
  attached file?

  P.P.S.: Is there a way to directly write compressed morphs from squeak
  (shouldn't be much of a problem provided you know what you're doing =
and
  have a zlib.dll (zlib.so) handy)? Saves about 80%.

Greetings, Torge
