    There is one. It's called !Solitaire or !Pegs. Download with PacMan.

    If you mean the one here, it's called Pegs[1].

    As with all of my fully-released software, it's also on PackMan and in the PlingStore.

    There's also a version in the unfinished[2] port of Simon Tatham's Portable Puzzle Collection, which can be found at the bottom of the same page. That's also called Pegs, although that wasn't the inspiration for renaming my
    version.

    The English name is either just Solitaire (not to be confused with the card game, because we call that Patience), or Peg Solitaire.


    1. Because someone else has registered the application name Solitaire on
    RISC OS.

    2. I really should get around to doing more work on it, but I've had no time
    for RISC OS since the spring (and it doesn't look as if that's going to
    change any time soon).

    You can also play it using StrongEd. I suggest to press the key 'einfg'
    before (here German keyboard). So you are able to directly replace the
    letters:

    But it's not so nice like the version from Steve! Also you can make
    mistakes.

    I tried this also with !edit, but it seems to me that !edit cannot
    replace directly the letters why you have to press 'delete' to delete a
    letter (or byte) after inserting a new one.

    Also, when I mark some text in !edit, I'm not able to place the
    red cursor to a new position to copy the text for example. The
    inverted mark is forgotten then. Strange. I never had recognized this
    before.

    Wow - are some people still using RiscOS 3.1? I thought it was just me.
