Hello:
Are there any Bridge Programs for Mac? So far, I could not
find any. I am looking for a program, that can "teach" to
some extend...
I'd be interested in buying the software, if should someone
has one and is willing to sell.
Thanks.

Check out Bridge 6.0 by Aorkx. It's advertised in [BWacWarehouse's latest Catelogue and is quite enjoyable. Plus it has a hit mode during the biidding sequence and you can replay and set up hands. Quite nice, but surprisingly not as good as chess simulations on the Mac. I mean, I can actually win at Bridge 6.0 but beating Sargon is an impossibility for me, at least. -- Dan Hughes, Dan.Hughes@f421.n109.z1.fidonet.org via The Black Cat's Shack's FidoNet<->Usenet Gateway blkcat.fidonet.org and Fidonet 1:109/401

After a considerable search I located Bridge Baron II distributed by Great Games Products in Maryland. It was quite expensive ($59.95 Canadian) and very disapointing. Looks like a game that I would not have been pleased with on my old TRS80. It was obviously ported for the Mac rather than created for it: this is the most inelegant peice of software I have seen. For all that it plays quite well although you had best know something about the game before you start. It is a good way to sharpen up basic skills in playing the two hands. Let me know what other bridge programs your search turns up. I would love to see one with graphics and a smoother interface.
