There is a solitaire game called 'xpat2' that includes 16 different
solitaire games, one of which is spider. It's an X application and the
sources are still findable. If you can't find them, I have them, and also
a tgz file you can install.

(when I say X application above I mean it was written with XLIB and will
run on any desktop)
