Dealing programs

First, you'll have to compile and link
these programs.  Sorry, I don't have a 
PC, so I can't do it for you.  You'll
need a C compiler.  Each .c file is
complete.

Deal produces strings of hands.  It reads a 
file called seed.dat for initialization of random
sequences.  Type in some number like
.9287349827 the first time you use it and
leave it be.  It'll update the seed for you.
Deal takes one argument, the number of hands
you want.  (deal 26 for one session, for example.)

Makepage produces 8-1/2" x 11" pages of hands
for hand records.  It takes as input deal output.

pshand produces hand records suitable for printing
on a Postscript laser printer.  It takes as input
deal's output.  -b puts a box in the middle of 
the hand record with NSEW.  It helps.

So, let's say you want to run a game with hand
records.  Do the following:

deal 28 > 021196.txt
makepage <021196.txt >021196.hr
pshand -b <021196.txt >021196.ps

Xerox a zillion copies of the hand records
(two-sided works for me) and one set of big (ps)
hand records for making the boards.  

I have a bunch of other little utilities
that work with this stuff if anyone's interested.
