I am not a MAC or BBO Flash user, my partner is new to BBO and is using a MAC, how does he open lin files I send?

I think LIN files can only be opened with the Windows app, so he needs to run Windows (via Bootcamp or virtualization) or a Windows emulator (WINE or CrossOver Mac).

I have been scribbling these days on a LIN parser for Mac OS X.
At the actual state it just reads the downloaded LIN files and displays the hands.
I'd love to put in some animation to show the card play but I don't have much time and not being a professional programmer everything takes twice the time.
If there is some interest I'll keep you updated for the "Beta release" :)

Cheers from Milan

Couldn't you translate to a Handviewer link? Then you wouldn't have to program the animation.

I did not know at all this 'open source aspect' of the BBO software, this is marvelous!
Thank you for this hint!
From what I've read on the documentation pages I think it will be enough to create a web viewer inside the Mac application and it's done. I'll do some testing during the weekend :)

Thanks again
Farid

most of the hands you play are available via myhands ( www.bridgebase.com , HAND RECORDS link )

find a hand. right click on MOVIE. select COPY LINK LOCATION or whatever.

You can then paste the link

into an email to your partner
