What's New in PC-Gammon V Release 1.10.... 9/17/92

1.   The biggest change is the addition of the play style feature. This
     feature allows you to select either "Conservative", "Aggressive", or 
     "Out For Blood" play styles. Each style plays an increasingly better 
     game. 

     To, select a play style, click the "Style" button on the main menu,
     a style selection list will be displayed. Click the mouse cursor 
     twice on a style to select it (you only have to click once if
     the style is already highlighted). If you don't have a mouse, use
     the arrow keys to highlight the style you want and then press
     the enter key. 

2.   I have changed the way the "Automove" feature works. There are now
     three levels of AutoMove, these are:

          Level 1   :    Automove turned on only for last die value, this
                         is the same as the old version of Automove.

          Level 2   :    Automove Level 1 Plus, automatically bear a man
                         off if there is only one possible move. For 
                         example, if you rolled a 6,5 while bearing off
                         and your last man is on your 22 point, clicking
                         on that man will automatically bear it off without
                         your having to click again in the bearoff tray. 
                         Remember, this level will only automove if there
                         is no other move, in the above example if you
                         rolled a 6,2 and clicked on the man on your
                         22 point, the program would not automatically
                         bear the man off because you have the option of
                         moving the man from the 22 to 24 point.

          Level 3   :    Automove Level 2 Plus, automatic moves of any man
                         if doubles are rolled. This allows you to click
                         once on any man and have it moved without having
                         to click on a destination. Since there is no 
                         ambiguity on moves with regard to doubles this
                         works during bear-off as well as normal play. The
                         only detrement to this option is it eliminates
                         the ability to move one man all four values of
                         the double with just two clicks, etc.

3. Score history has changed in the following ways:

     1. I removed the "Point Ratio" (the last number in the score history
        display). This number was confusing, and often incorrect. The score
        history now simply displays the cumulative points won for each 
        player. 

     2. The alignment of the numbers under the titles has been improved
        for better readability.

4.   Score Box Option: The score box in the upper right hand corner of the 
     screen has been modified. It now displays the playing style if you are
     not in tournament mode. During tournament mode, the tournament tally is
     displayed where the style is. 

     You now also have the option of viewing the scores for the current 
     "session" or your "cumulative" score in the score box. Mouse users
     simply click the mouse cursor in the score box, and the score 
     display will alternate between current and cumulative.

     Keyboard users must hit the F5 key to get the score view to change.

5.   Score File: The score history, default settings and style information
     are now stored with each players score record. This allows each palyer
     to customize PC-Gammon to his/her liking (previously, there was just
     one set of defaults for all players).

6.   Mouse Problem: Some users have experienced problems with their mouse
     drivers not properly handling the programs request to restrict the
     mouse movement. Mouse movement was restricted when a dialog box 
     was displayed (i.e. when the computer offers a double, etc). The
     mouse restriction has been removed, and this hopefully will clear
     up the problem some of you have been having.
