*laugh* I was thinking of it being simple relative to other card games. For
instance, in Pinochle, you've got all those melds to consider, plus having
two of each card available. In Oh Hell, you only earn points if you make
your bid exactly, so playing the right card at the right time is crucial.
Cribbage also deals in combinations of cards, plus you need to be careful as
you play about playing something that your opponents can capitalize on.
Also, with only 24 cards in the Euchre deck you can allocate one byte per
card and not be too short on memory.

I've never seen that done around here. Everyone I've played with either uses
two fives or a six and a four (to be different).

Thanks! I'm glad to see it's making the rounds among the emulators and
operating systems. It holds up in Cyberstella and Z26 for DOS/Windows,
Stella for Mac OS X, and Stella for Linux.
