My boss asked me if there are any decent bridge programs for the Mac. I'm not a bridge player myself, so I thought I'd ask the net for recommendations. -- Julian Vrieslander Neurobiology & Behavior, W250 Mudd Hall, Cornell University, Ithaca NY 14853 INTERNET: eacj@theory.tn.cornell.edu BITNET: eacj@crnlthry UUCP: ..cornell!batcomputer!eacj

There has NEVER been a good bridge playing game done for ANY computer!! I've been through the reasons for this before. For the Mac, there is only Bridge 7.0, and Basic compiled program that might be acceptable to teach a novice the rules of the the game, if not any usable playing/bidding techniques. If your boss is a tournament player, he's pretty much out of luck. There is a program available that will deal bridge hands to many specifications for use in bidding systems analysis, play analysis, tournament preparation, etc. It is in NO WAY a game playing program, but does it's job (IMHO) very well. It's called Mike Lawrence's Bridge Dealer, and is available either from Mike Lawrence or Baron/Barclay Bridge supplies. I said "IMHO" because I'm the programmer/designer of the product. - Ed Rotberg -
