Can't comment on the VBA.
The ABF uses Tim Bourke's program, which I believe has been ratified
by the WBF. I'm sure Tim would be happy for anyone to look at his

At the NSWBA, we used to use Peter Buchen's ALERT program, which
seemed fine to me.
In the past month we have switched to robot-dealing, using equipment
from Martin Willcox & Dennis Yovich. Too early to judge, though we are
running diagnostics ....
Mind you, I don't much like the printed layout - misaligned, no suit
