Thank you for the web page. I have two questions.

1. Did you work from some sort of specification or did you reverse engineer LIN format from examples?

2. If you don't have a .LIN specification, would you be willing to publish the server side code that does the conversion so that I can streamline the creation of pbn output and conversion to lin format in a different program?

Sorry about the long delay in replying, due to personal circumstances I haven't been on the BBO forum since June 2018.

BBO weren't willing to share a spec for LIN so I reverse engineered the commands I needed from examples on the web. The spec for PBN is publicly available on the web so that part was easy.

Yes, I'm happy to share my code with you so that you can make any improvements you like.

I have sent you a PM.

If your club has a website on Bridgewebs, you will now be able to download deal files directly in LIN format for uploading to BBO. This has been incorporated into the latest revision 2.19f which was released yesterday

I did a video here you can see:

There is a video here which shows how you can convert the files from pbn to lin.

There are also some free lin files available here:

I will be closing the server which hosts the PbnToLin converter very soon. If anyone would like to take over the hosting please contact me by PM. It is a very small installation but requires a knowledge of PHP. Since the start it has currently converted nearly 76,000 files!

Anyone interested in receiving the source code please email me: design<at>johnfromarran<dot>org<dot>uk

You're welcome. I think I have found a new place to host the converter and, if it works, I will put the new URL here in a few days.

Well that was quicker than I expected. The PBN to LIN converter has a new home on the Bridgewebs server here:

dds.bridgewebs.com/pbntolin/

The old page will direct you to use the new link for a few months when it will go away.
