Hi Chris,

I can't help too much on the programming side.  I'm one of the "have ideas don't know
how to program" people on this list.  I actually downloaded the hearts code and was
looking at that since it at least has cards in it :-)

If you send an email to pbmserv@gamerz.net with the subject: help implementation.notes
you will get some instructions on how the server works.

I can throw together some ideas for the e-mail look and commands though.

I did locate some example code (google) that people have in the internet.  I think most
of these are for playing programs, but I was looking at the way the program represented
the hand, etc.

<http://www2.rossi.com/crib/code.html>  I think this is for Java though.

cribbage I'll have to find the source code.
