when talking about a hand, the '10' causes problems. It is the only card that needs more than one space to specify. The solution is simple and wins on many levels: treat the 10 like AKQJ, and call it 'T.' It is an honor (even though it doesn't have points), just like the big cards. In my bridge program, I do this, simply for consistency's sake (I read a single character for denomination and another for suit when asking what card to play). -- Randwulf (Randy Haskins); Path= genrad!mit-eddie!rh or... rh@mit-ee (via mit-mc)
