To archive deals:
Select the save format from the context menu of the archive box (see image below);
Check the archive box;
Uncheck the Double box (Dummy analysys) if you want to speed up the operation;
Check the Start box.
The archive checkbox state is not remembered. It is controlled manually or with the --AUTOBID command.
The context menu of the archive box:
copy the current hand - copies the contents of the archive for the current hand to the clipboard;
save the current hand - saves the archive content for the current hand.
The program will bid on all hands according to the selected settings. The results will be saved in the current directory as:
'Sequence:<entered bidding sequence>'
'Convention: <selected convention>'
'BBA - [Date and time].[selected extension]'
If two consecutive hands are equal, only one of them will be recorded.
The PBN format has a tag value 'Event':
'Sequence:<entered bidding sequence>'
'Convention: <selected convention>'
""
If you want to write all DD tricks you have to check "Write all DD to archived *.pbn file".
In this case the bidding will take longer because DD tricks will be calculated.
