DP awarded to Bill Hirst because his REAL definition was somehow lost, and
the one used and attributed to him was meant to be a joke.

Thanks for everyone's patience with my first try at this dealer thing. I
haven't the data or know-how to incorporate these scores with the previous ones
for the lists that are usually posted. If anyone can help with this task, it
would be appreciated.

Dick,



Great job with your first deal!



Don't worry about updating the rolling scores. Mike Shefler does that based
on these results that you posted.

You have done an excellent job on the deal. I did not do as well my
first time, including accidentally deleting my entire Dixonary program
and the directory in mid round and having to reinstall and re-enter
every definition and vote from scratch.

Happily not the dealer's problem, Dick. Mike Shefler has assumed that
chore, to our eternal gratitude.

You did a VERY nice first deal, BTW!
