Obviously, I have been out o the active mix for quite a while. It appears that the dealer software I used to use (Coryphaeus) is no longer functional or supported in any way.

What are other dealers using? I better start experimenting early in order not to hold up the round any further than I already have.

I use Froma Bessel's Flex database. It works under Windows 7 in a Dos Box. Can't say whether it would work on other versions of windows.

I use a home-grown Excel spreadsheet with formulas for calculating scores based on each player's votes and creating the email listing of results. However, it requires tweaking for each deal (scoring formulas of necessity involve the # of the correct def) and isn't in a state of polish where anyone else could use it.

I've considered creating an application using either Access or FileMaker Pro, mostly as an exercise to keep my mind sharp, but the odds of my actually getting to it in the foreseeable future, let alone in time for you to use on this deal, are not good.

Good luck in your search!

I’m still using Coryphaeus in a Windows virtual machine on my mac 😊

 

What OS are you using on which it is not functional?

I use a PC running Windows 10.

My biggest problem is that Coryphaeus no longer seems to be available for download. So I can't even give it a try on this machine. Dixonary.net points you toward a Yahoo Group for obtaining the software, but that appears to be a dead end.

I will just run this round manually. I don't think it is going to be a massive shore and I happen to have the time.

Here’s a copy in my Dropbox.  It might work.
