2H. Easy game force, and slam might be in the picture depending on partner's hand. Even with a misfit, this would be a game force.
2/1 - 2H or 1NT

Please no, they are bad enough the way they are already.

I tried 2H but when I ran Jack it suggested 1NT on the basis that the Hearts weren't good enough.
Based on results from the world computer bridge championships, I was under the impression that Jack was a far superior program than GIB. This is such a basic auction that I'm surprised that the Jack programmers haven't made a fix by now.

Jack plays many systems and not all are equally well implemented
The world would be such a happy place, if only everyone played Acol :) --- TramTicket

That's a good point. Anecdotal, but when left to its own devices it does like to play Dutch Doubletone/Biedermeijer or English Acol which I suppose should be no surprise given the author's background. I'll take more notice of the systems it chooses in competition.
