  Bridge computer software

This web site lists all available computer bridge software and gives a short description of those programs.  Steph and I use MicroBridge II and find it to be very flexible with respect to setting up your own bidding system, fast, and a very good player.  We have tried several of the others which we didn't like as much, although Bridge Buff is fun to use.  None of them (I have tried most of the higher rated ones) are perfect.
