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.
