: 
: I saw a game called "Bridge 5.0".  Does anybody have experience with it?
: Is it harddisk installable?  How good a bridge player is it (in both bidding
: and playing)?   Does it multi-task?
: 
: I am thinking about buying it, so any comment is appreciated.
: 
Yes, I bought it yesterday.  My advice is--don't.  Looks to me like
this was somebody's high school project.

It's written in compiled BASIC.  Multitasks - yes.  Copy protected
(not sure why) but I backed it up using Marauder II (not sure why).

Claims to bid Standard American 5 card majors using Stayman and
Blackwood.  Maybe so.  So far the only way I've found to get to a
game contract is to bid it myself.

There is NO WAY to redouble!  (This is version 5.0??)
