Creating of Bridge Calculator is my hobby. Besides, its engine is developed as part of my PhD thesis. I hope that you will find this software useful. If so, you can make a donation for it.
I wish you to take pleasure in using program.
At the same time I would be very grateful to you for any advice and help,
Piotr Beling
