This program is hereby put in the public domain. Do with it whatever you want, but I would like you not to redistribute it in modified form without mentioning the fact of modification. I will accept bug reports and modification requests, without any obligation of course, but fixing bugs someone else put in is beyond me.
When you report bugs please mention the version number in the source files, and preferably send context diffs if you changed anything. I might put in your fixes, and distribute a new version someday.
I would prefer if you did *not* use this program for generating hands for tournaments. I have not investigated the random number generation closely enough for me to be comfortable with that thought.
(Note: random number generation has been significantly improved since the original release, for which this disclaimer was written; check the source code for more details).
