===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
CONTRACT BRIDGE, consisting of BRIDGE.EXE and BRIDGE.DOC, is a DOS
program that bids, plays and scores rubber matches of the card game
Contract Bridge. It requires a color text monitor. Mouse support is
included. The program provides such options as entering hands from the
keyboard and bidding customization. In the registered version you can
save hands to disk, and generate reports on individual contracts.
You will always bid the SOUTH hand. If NORTH-SOUTH are declarers, you
will play both hands. Standard bidding conventions are used. You can
enter your own bids, or press ENTER to have the computer bid for you.
Press [?] to see an estimate of the best contract. Play of the hand
includes a hint key [?] and an undo key [U]. Again, you can play the
hand(s) yourself, or press ENTER to have the computer play for you.
CONTRACT BRIDGE is ideal for recreational players who enjoy informal
games of Rubber Bridge. Most players should find themselves both
challenged and entertained by the program. Although CONTRACT BRIDGE is
not a tutorial on how to play Bridge, it is quite possible to learn to
play the game using the program and a good book on Bridge.
