Been using BBO dealer, but it's full of bugs (constraints don't work properly), so I need an alternative. Any ideas?

Write your own?

I threw a simple one together in about 10 minutes using MATLAB

(It only calculates the distribution of HCP and shapes, however, its not too difficult to extend this)

For simple hand generation you can write your own. If you need speed, for rare hand-types, most of us are going to be better off with one of the published ones. And if you want an interface with a double-dummy solver, you better be really good with piping your output to gib, or use one of the published ones.

I've been happily using the thomas andrews deal software for some time. Bookmarking a TCL manpage, for syntax on loops and simple math, is a help, in addition to the documentation for the builtin commands. The learning curve was steep but short.

Here's a Bidding Practice Dealer by Richard Pavlicek :

Thx guys, I'll download Thomas' simulator and give it a try.

I think Pavlicek's sim had, if I recall correctly, some strange theoretical bias in certain circumstances. Unless that has been fixed, it might not be totally accurate.

Thx, but I need something that can produce complex chains of constraints. Don't have time right now to apply the "do it yourself" method :P
