There's lots of commercial stuff for M$ Windows I found a fairly good free pgm (Finesse Bridge, Wild Card Software), which works on Win98 in my back-up machine, but the URL is defunct. It's a rather interesting sociological question: do UNIX programmers not play bridge ? isn't it an itch they'ld want to scratch ? You can play poker, backgammon etc, so it's not puritanism ...

Finesse Bridge (Win98 only) gives a fairly good imitation of club players there are some very strong commercial offerings for M$ Windows. However, no-one has ever set out to create such a program for UNIX. There are excellent chess programs for Linux a Go program which makes me (2 kyu) think a bit -- tho' Go is much more difficult for a computer than is chess -- , so I return to my sociological question in the previous message. -- ,, SUPPORT ___//___, Philip Webb : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Centre for Urban Community Studies TRANSIT`-O--O---' University of Toronto -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Yes, it's USD 80 looks impressive from the maker's write-up. One would have to be cautious that the Linux version might not be supported, ie if you find a serious bug, you have to wait hope they'll fix it. -- ,, SUPPORT ___//___, Philip Webb : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Centre for Urban Community Studies TRANSIT`-O--O---' University of Toronto -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
