Most texts cite "dealer" in conjunction with the first author's name, but everyone how has dealed [:-)] with bridge programs knows the program by that name. Note that I'm already maintaining "deal" which serves the same purpose, but isn't used as widely. And if one name is generic that's probably the shorter "deal". > 2. after reading and re-reading both the description and the long description, > i have no clue whatsoever what the program is for. Hopefuly in the final > package it will be reworded... I'll include the botton line from the latex-bridge description: "Bridge is an intellectually challenging card game for four players." (Maybe ITPs should include the proposed section (games in this case) to resolve confusions like these.) Thanks for your suggestions.
