       --analyze Run the dds analyzer on the boards and print the resulting numberof tricks (warning SLOW)

       --criteria=
		 A  list of criteria to apply to each generated hand to generate specific hand types.  The list should be space separated and each
		 item may be suffixed with a colon and a (fractional) probability value which can be used to weight the criteria.

		 E.g. --criteria="weaknt:0.8 strongnt:0.5"

		 Valid criteria are: unbalanced weaknt strongnt twont strongtwo weaktwo three twoclubs 4441  singlesuit  twosuits  partscore  game
		 slam game-invite slam-invite jumpshift jumpfit splinter bacon weird

       --probability=factor
		 Generate  hands matching the criteria with only the given probability. Factor is in the range 0 to 1. On each attempt to generate
		 a board it is rejected if it doesn't match the criteria with the given probability.  A factor of about  0.8  gives  roughly  half
		 matching boards
