# Using the output

Usually, you will just look at the hands generated and analyze them by hand. There are a few other options though:

## 1. Reformatting the output

In the "Post_processors" directory, you'll find tools to reformat the output. Currently there is only 1 contribution, `pbn_to_ascii.pl`, meant to be used as follows:

- pbn_to_ascii.pl <pbn_file or
- dealer <input_file | pbn_to_ascii.pl

This will take the PBN output and convert it into a newspaper-style diagram. pbn_to_ascii.pl uses the Perl5 language and was written by Robin Barker.
