It's buggy. It looks like the cards from one deal aren't erased before
displaying the next deal. After scrolling through an entire file, all
hands have 24 (or more) cards.

What is "Play a card" supposed to do?

This might be useful, but I would want to see the double dummy makeable
contracts (if they're in the PBN file).

I'd also like to see the HCP for each hand.

Thanks Wes

I have updated my web site to point out the limitations of my Viewer.

I was mainly interested in showing the bidding and play, Tis (the author
of PBN) has pointed out to me that my Viewer does not handle comments
very well.

I will work on a version 1.1 to at least stop the comments from making
the play or auction parts working

As somebody who has written software that uses PBN files I should warn
you not to assume people who create the files stick to the rules. There
are many files out there without some of the mandatory tags, and others
with the cards for a suit in random order and others with tags that are
not in the specs at all !

recently !

I have put Version 1.1 on my website

It will not show annotation, but should always show the auction and the
play (If in the PBN file).

Thank you for your script. I tried to use it on my android tablet, but I found impossible to browse for a pbn file there. Would it be possible to modify your script to include selected pbn file "upfront" ... or am I missing something :)?
