[1] WHAT THE PATCH FIXES
====================================
In bridge, fixes a bug which often caused an incorrect player to begin the auction (should always be the dealer).

In hearts, fixes a bug which affected replays of hands in which no cards were passed.

This patch resolves these issues.


[2] HOW TO INSTALL THE PATCH
====================================
Run the HoyleCardGames5Patch1.exe program.
