		 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
