What is a .RBN file?
An RBN file is a special kind of document that is used to keep records of Bridge games. Bridge is a card game, and this file format, called Richard's Bridge Notation, is named after its creator, Richard. The file is pretty simple because it's made up of plain text, which means it's just regular writing without any fancy formatting or images. Inside an RBN file, you'll find descriptions of one or more games of Bridge. Each game is described in detail over 16 lines of text. Every line gives a specific piece of information about the game, like the cards dealt or the scores.
Because RBN files are in plain text, you can open them with many different programs that can read text. Here are some examples: 1. **Vim**: This is a powerful text editor that can be used by more advanced computer users. It's available on many operating systems.
2. **Any text editor**: This means you can use whatever basic text editing software you have on your computer, like Notepad on Windows or TextEdit on Mac. These programs are very simple and easy to use.
3. **Microsoft Notepad**: This is a very basic text editor that comes with Windows. It's very straightforward and good for simple text editing tasks.
4. **Apple TextEdit**: This is the Mac equivalent of Notepad. It comes included with the operating system, so if you have a Mac, you already have TextEdit. It can open and edit plain text files like RBN files.
Since RBN files are just text, you don't need any special software to open them, just something that can read and edit text. This makes it easy for anyone interested in reviewing Bridge games to access and read these files on almost any computer.
