No more need for answers, thanks :blink: The pbn road seems far better than the lin one, for my purposes. Already got a lin converter, converted all my BBO files to pbn notation and started writing a 'pbn based trainer' for personal use (couldn't find one in the market tough some product was close).

I find that the offline lin file viewer (a great tool indeed) could be improved. I wish I could review (offline) the hands played on BBO adding comments for partnership use, extract, classify (by partner, topic, or disaster type :o ) and store them for training use with my partner(s). I think it would be wonderful if I could store a disaster hand (with comments and agreements for future disaster avoiding) directly from lin files. I wish I could review (offline) the hands with 1,2 or 3 hands covered bid by bid, card by card (the idea is a step by step reviewing to enforce partnership or for mentoring purposals). I need the following informations: Is the BBO offline lin files reader going to implement features like these sooner or later? Does a lin file editor product already exists? Where may I purchase it? If not: Would the writing from scratch of a lin files offline reader/writer considered violation of intellectual property? Would the writing of a lin file converter to another format considered a violation of intellectual property? Thanks in advance to who will answer my questions.

Dbl is takeout, I would pass with no problems. Another question here is who has spades? :D better to hide in shadow, 90% your p has long S, no H and very few or no points.
