.lin --> text

[TimG]

Hi,

 

I'm sure that a few years ago someone provided me with a .lin to text converter that I have since lost track of (not that I didn't appreciate and use it, but I switched computers during a time of little bridge play and didn't bring the converter with me).

 

While I'm at it, I might as well ask how you generally add comments to deals and share them via e-mail? When I was viewing the .lin file in the BBO movie viewer, there didn't seem to be any obvious way to add comments. (Thus the desire for the .lin files to be converted to text files that look like bridge hands.)

 

Thanks,

Tim

Click printer symbol in bottom corner.

Text file is instantly created.

 

To add comments:

This is done online.

Open . lin file and annotate.

Save.

I've been using Pavilcek's converter to share hands with a mentor. Here's what I do:

 

1) Take the .lin file convert it to an RBN using Pavilcek's converter utility.

 

2) Then, I take the resulting RBN file and run Richard's RBN to HTML converter. It produces output that looks like this.

 

3) I throw this into Word, annotate it, then ship it wherever I want.

 

It's a couple steps, but the output is pleasing and flexible.
