This program generates bridge hands. It can be told to generate only hands satisfying conditions like being balanced, having a range of HCPs, controls, or other user-definable properties. Hands can be output in various formats, like pbn for feeding to other bridge programs, deal itself, or split up into a file per player for practise. Extensible via Tcl.
