And you can just as easily Flip any two hands or any two suits. Can I enter the auction? Yes. With mouse clicks or key strokes. And it's easy to correct an error or start over.

Just click the appropriate classifications for this deal from a master table of classifications. What is the Master Table of Classifications? What if I don't find the Classification I want in the Master Table? You make the Master Table whatever you want it to be. Add a new Classification whenever you want. What do you mean that the Classifications are "for future reference"? When your database of deals becomes large, you can easily select the deals you want to review by specifying the classifications you are interested in. If you play bridge, you will find it a cinch to pick up poker. Many sites let you play poker free while you learn the ropes and enjoy this fascinating game. Top of Page | Enter Hands | Classify | Enter Notes | Printouts | Database Deal Generator Enter Notes How do I enter a Notes? . There is a built-in modest Word Processor (text editor) through which you can enter Notes. How long can the Notes for a deal be? As long as you want. Write a book if needed. Why do you call them "Notes"? Because you can enter up to three Notes for each deal. When you enter a Note, you can divide it into three parts. Example: Note A might state a problem; Note B could give the solution. When you want a printout, you can indicate what part or parts of the Note should print. Can I put suit symbols in the Notes? . Yes. For example, for the K of spades, you would enter "K^s". On the printout, the "^s" would be translated to the spade symbol. Top of Page | Enter Hands | Classify | Enter Notes | Printouts | Database Deal Generator Printouts What is the format of the printout of a deal? . There are numerous formats: 1 deal per page 2 deals per page (similar to 1 deal per page) 4 deals per page 6 deals per page (similar to 4 deals per page) 8 deals per page (similar to 4 deals per page without the Note option.) 18 deals per page (Hand Record) and other specialized printouts for bidding practice,making up boards, etc. What prints out for each deal? Suppose I only want a printout of North and South? You easily select which of the following is to print: Dealer North East South West Vulnerability Auction Lead Which part of the Notes (on 1, 4 and 6/page printouts) Classifications What if I want a large font printout for a projector? There is an option for that, too. Suppose I want two printouts: one with all the information and one with just the North and South holdings? One screen provides the options to create up to four different printouts, each with just the data you want. If I print 4 on a page (or 6 on a page) and my Note is too big to fit, what happens? Dealmaster will show you how much of the Note will print and offer you an opportunity to edit the note before it is printed! Click here to see the screen for entering print options Top of Page | Enter Hands | Classify | Enter Notes | Printouts | Database Deal Generator Database What do you mean by a database for deals? Instead of storing each deal as a separate file as you would with a Word Processor, Dealmaster automatically stores all the data related to a deal in a professional database file. This makes it very easy to find deals for editing, printing, etc. You locate and extract deals you want either on the basis of the way you classified them or on the session name you gave them. How many deals can I select at one time? Any number. What happens when I select the deals let's say that are classified as "Stayman"? You are presented with a Browse window, one line for each deal. The details of the current deal are shown at the left of the browse window. Suppose I want to print only four of those selected? Just enter "S" in front of each deal to be printed. Suppose I want to delete a deal in the database? Just enter a "D" in front of that deal Top of Page | Enter Hands | Classify | Enter Notes | Printouts | Database Deal Generator Deal Generator Could I have the program create, for example, 10 deals illustrating Weak Twos? Yes. An important advantage of Dealmaster is that it has no built-in definitions of conventions. You have complete control over what each convention means. You build your own library of definitions. You can control High Card Points, total points, Controls, Shapes, Suits with stoppers, cards in each suit, etc. etc. Dealmaster's Deal Generator works at different levels, from simple to advanced.
