Dealing programs First, you'll have to compile and link these programs. Sorry, I don't have a PC, so I can't do it for you. You'll need a C compiler. Each .c file is complete. Deal produces strings of hands. It reads a file called seed.dat for initialization of random sequences. Type in some number like .9287349827 the first time you use it and leave it be. It'll update the seed for you. Deal takes one argument, the number of hands you want. (deal 26 for one session, for example.) Makepage produces 8-1/2" x 11" pages of hands for hand records. It takes as input deal output. pshand produces hand records suitable for printing on a Postscript laser printer. It takes as input deal's output. -b puts a box in the middle of the hand record with NSEW. It helps. So, let's say you want to run a game with hand records. Do the following: deal 28 > 021196.txt makepage <021196.txt > pshand -b <021196.txt > Xerox a zillion copies of the hand records (two-sided works for me) and one set of big (ps) hand records for making the boards. I have a bunch of other little utilities that work with this stuff if anyone's interested.
