Installation
Installation is automatic. Select Open when downloading a ".msi" file from this website,
or double-click it after downloading.

After installing, programs
will appear in the Bridge Club Utilities folder of the Start menu.
Getting Started

an empty, untitled document (see image at left).
From this window, you may use menu commands: use Board→Edit to enter a new
board; use File→Open to open an existing bridge file (PBN, LIN, DUP or DLM
format); use Tools→Generate Random Boards to generate random boards; use
Help→Help Topics for complete documentation. See also the
Tutorials and Gallery page on this website for additional
