Hi there. I'm creating some bridge lessons. I've used DMPRO a lot to do this in the past, but it's no longer reliably stable so I'm looking for alternatives.

Any other tips for an (ideally free) way to create, import, convert, rotate and manipulate hands, with double dummy functionality? I often need to rotate hands, and I'm often working with LIN, DLM, BRI and PBN files.

BBO is great for entering hands and double dummy analysis, but as far as I know doesn't have the ability to quickly rotate hands. It is possible to export from BBO to a handviewer link and copy the URL into a .LIN via notepad, or better yet with the Bridge Solver chrome extension. And I know the BOS software can do some conversions, but it's quite clunky. I tried Richard Pavlicek's online conversion tool but it always glitched for some reason. Any other ideas? Thanks

It's easy to write some software to rotate a deal

e.g. for a pbn file, you can probably do it by changing the letter N below to E for east, to rotate

[Deal "N:KQT87.T82.AJ3.J8 643.J953.KQ2.Q95 AJ952.A764.97.63 .KQ.T8654.AKT742"]
