Do you know these old style Windows card games, please?

I am looking for the names of 3 old Windows card games.

The first one is called Calc or Calculator Solitaire or something.

As you draw from a deck of cards, you have to arrange them in four rows.

The first row goes, A, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, J, Q, K.

Second is 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, Q, A, 3 ... etc

Third is 3, 6, 9, Q, 2, 5, 8, J ... etc

Fourth is 4, 8, Q, 3, 7, J ... etc

In the second card game, you have to a 4x4 grid and pair the cards off. I think there is a reference to an old house when the game completes. I seem to remember that the middle four spaces were a safe zone where you could store cards prior to pairing off.

The third game is one where you have to sort the cards into suits. There are four horizontal rows. Initially they all fill up but then the aces disappear and you can only move cards into the empty space. I think there was a comment or saying when the game completes.

Many thanks, if you need more info, just ask and I will add to this question.

Update:

I've just remembered that the second game is called "Thieves and Kings".

Update 2:

It was two games in one. The options were "Play Kings" or "Play Thieves".

Update 3:

The first one was called CalcSol.

The last one is called Montana.

Thanks for all your help, those of you who took the time to research this....

    Here's one... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calculation_%28game%2...

    Then just click the 'solitaire games' link, and you'll hopefully find the others.

    Hope that helps,
