Soloplay Software

I once found somewhere on the Web a program that would take one through a T&T-style solitaire scenario written as a text file. I don't recall whether it was for Mac, Windows or a multi-platform interpreter.

Anyhow, I can't find it now.

I want to try writing solos, and figure the program would be a help in "debugging." I guess I could write my own, but would love to be spared the work.

Can anyone point me to this?

(no luck trying to post at DF, though the site otherwise seems to work)

There was a game like that out in the 80s called Zork - if you are thinking back that far. I think there were a couple others as well but I cannot recall those.

Zork used a programming language requiring an interpreter run on a computer.

My end product will be in print and "human readable" :) -- which is much easier to write! I want a simple program to test the connections in the plain English text.

Is this it?
