- <P>
- Xblackjack is a MOTIF/OLIT based tool constructed to get
- you ready for the casino. It was inspired by a book
- called "Beat the Dealer" by Edward O. Thorp, Ph.D. of
- UCLA. A number of important statistics are maintained for
- display, and used by the program to implement Thorp's
- "Complete Point System" (high-low system). Harvey Dubner
- presented the strategy at a panel session of the 1963 Fall
- Joint Computer Conference.
