The new MBIs are difficult to test with because of the complex format. This program generates random MBIs that follow the CMS rules for you.

## Which to use?

For users on Linux/macOS, I recommend the bash version on the [releases page](https://github.com/tgharold/sombis/releases). It will output a grid of MBIs when called. For users on Windows, if you have [git bash](https://gitforwindows.org/) installed you can also use the bash version.

There is also a C# version. That works well on Windows inside a Powershell console window and inside a Linux terminal window, but it is not yet compatible with the MSYS2 terminal used by [Git for Windows](https://gitforwindows.org/).
