As far as coding in C goes, I like this design also, so I had to add to
it! A rediddle to the backs to make them look like a "Bee Brand" Card
which most casinos use to prevent cheating. And the funny thing about
that is magicians love to use them, but I cannot tell you why...secrets
must stay secrets in the magic world! *S*

If you use my card backs, you can still give Matthew all the credit,
because "HE'S THE MAN!" *S*
