Fluffy Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 There are many teachers at my local club. Most of them prepare hands for their lessons. I think we are duplicating our work endlessly, by thinking of hands all the time and then preparing them. I am looking for ideas to stablish a database on the club so everyone can use the duplicating machine (the club owns it sown machine) for their lessons and use deals stored by subject/level. I think .dup is the standard file for the machine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great idea! IMO BBO LIN format would be ideal. There are lots of suitable hands in LIN format on BBO.LIN code is easily decipherable by a human LIN format is easy to display on a browser page using BBO's handviewer program (free to use for noncommercial purposes).Richard Pavlicek has a DOS program that converts LIN files to DUP and other formats. Or you could write one yourself Fluffy :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vampyr Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 A club I know just stores hands physically in wallets. They have loads of hands on dozens of topics. If you did this you could just have hand records stored in printable format on the computer. Or you could adapt them so that they may be cut and pasted if a teacher wanted to split up the hands or do some combination. Maybe a clumsy solution, but better if many of the teachers are not au fait with the duplicating machine, or can't manage to do the duplicating on the day that the club has a session but could take some hands home in advance (assuming their lessons are on other premises).

Fluffy Posted December 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 There are various kinds of LIN files I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted December 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 Found today that they use .bri instead of .dup for duplicating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
