• Bridge Bidding Program by Platon Beletsky. "The program bids naturally close to the original Goren system. My goal was to make it understand and explain the bidding. For years I trained it in bidding competitions published in Polish Brydz Journal and finally it started gaining 70-80% of the expert optimum. Try it and see yourself." - DOS or Windows
• John Oswalt's Java Dealer - John wrote a utility program in C for DOS back in 1989 that generated hands and allowed  the user to bid them out and then make a lead. The hands were saved in a file for future reference. Then in 1996 he rewrote the program in Java and this is available, on line, at this site. Unfortunately, the Java program does not do as much as the DOS programs but the link is there to get them.
