Thanks for that hint. I studies the PBN documentation, but may have overlooked this issue. And the only program I have (Bridge Composer) has not complained. Please continue exploring! Thanks!
The PBN files created using this program fail with syntax errors when I try to import them into my bridge program. I've checked a few simple PBN files using the pbnverifier app and consistently found the following errors: 1) a space at the end of the deal line, before the closing quote 2) the dealer should be specified as E not East There may be other syntax issues, but this is as far as I have explored.
Yes, sorry. Java is always developing, but not always downwards compatible. This program is used by only very few users. So, I did not go through the hassles of testing compatibility with Java 8. I suggest installing the most recent Java version. It is indeed possible to have two Java versions on one computer, and use the proper one via a batch or command file.
Good.
Now it's working :)
Unable to read pbn
For anybody else encountering this problem I was able to solve it by downloading the latest Java SDK version 22 which includes a newer JRE then Java 8.
