You had no email address, so I decided to post here.  Maybe others
would be interested also...

1) I would like to see it work over a network with 1-4 real players,
and the computer picking up the ones that didn't really exist.

2) Play several different conventions, and allow selection of
conventions for each team.  (Goren against Precision, etc...)  This
would be *REALLY* great for practice.  I have seen Bridge 6.0 from Art
Worx (sp?) and this was the missing feature I wanted most.

3) For beginners, a (WHY?) button after each bid by the computer.  This
is a great learning tool.

4) Now here is the tallest order:  I want the program to be able to
beat me consistently.  The three games I played using Bridge 6.0,
I won hands down.  (Did I miss something?)
