What if the hand was played on BridgeBase Online? I don't see a place to enter a BBO hand number, etc. Geoff

I know that this information exists in various places, but I've been unsuccessful in finding complete information. Much of what I have found is contradictory and several years old. I only found it by searching google, not by searching the BBO website and forums. So. I'm asking here for current and complete information that (hopefully) will be useful to others as well. My partner and I want to analyze / rebid / and perhaps play the hands from the CommonGame events we play at our local bridge club. Common Game makes the hands available in html, pbn, and pdf format. I think we need to use the pbn file format. Can we import these files into BBO? If so, in what areas, and then how do we rebid / play / analyze them? As far as I can tell, we have to convert the pbn files to lin files. If that is correct, can you recommend software that will convert the pbn files to lin for Windows 8? Thank you for your time and consideration answering these questions. Geoff
