https://github.com/njhammond/hand_record_utility

Takes a hand record (4 hands of 13 cards) and converts to a unique number using Richard Pavlicek's algorithm. The reverse also applies. Also works with the Andrews algorithm. The number will be in the range of [1..53644737765488792839237440000]. See Richard Pavlicek's web site at http://rpbridge.net/7z68.htm.
