You could always have the end user drop in their legally obtained copy of CARDS.DLL from older versions of Windows, and then parse the NE to extract all of the card images...at least, that's what I did when I made a clone of Windows Solitaire :)

Such a disappointing lack of regard for the impact this might have on Windows 95 sales going forward
