Bridge 5.0 by Artworx is pretty bad by comparison, although it is half the price (29.95 list versus $59.95 list). Tournament Bridge by Random House is better than Bridge 5.0 and costs $10 more, but it won't let you bid---it does all the bidding while you watch. Grand Slam lets you bid, suggests plays, and all-in-all is the best around. I haven't seen a shareware or PD version of Bridge, but that's not to be considered definitive by any means. Hope that helps.
