Is stuck systematically. West can have 23-24 pts so on 10 needs to invite.
Problem is 3N is defined so widely.

Indeed Steve. that seems to be the bug.

I'm not comfortable with either of the first two (human) bids, come to that.
Not sure if BBO allows that 2♥
W is only a tad over 2NT, which has the advantage of being Systems On.
If he wants to consider himself too strong for 2NT then I think double is better than 3NT, which in my books is more likely to be based on a long solid minor than on HCP and perhaps the other major.

I have a bridge app unrelated to bridgebase and it literally wouldn't let me open a trash 4-count with 3♥ the other day. Something like Kx Jxxxxxx xx xx

3NT is probably an OK bid to have in the system here but IMO there needs to be a distinction between 19-22 counts which shouldn't overcall 3NT, and 23+ which could. Given that, 4NT would actually be too light of a bid.
