Version Updates Current release 4.0H
NEW Help File > stats.hlp ( now included with version 4.0E as of 3/24/96)
TurboStats 4.0 for Windows is a solid, stable application. There have been some minor bugs reported with version 4.0 which have been fixed and are listed below: ( Our policy is to be open about any bugs and to fixed them and post free updates as soon as we are notified.)
Caution: We recommend that you do not work off your floppy disk drive. Floppies are not very reliable for multiple writes and can be easily dammaged by dust particles or magnets. The only 2 reports we ever received from users who experienced corrupt data were due to bad floppy disks. Use your hard disk and make backups onto floppies every week to be safe.
New in ver 4.0a: Fixed crash caused by making plots with a plot title greater than 80 characters. The software now automatically trims your titles to 80 characters maximum. You can edit your titles by double clicking anywhere on the chart.
New in ver 4.0b: Game reports did not display pitches thrown, balls thrown, strikes thrown or shut-outs.
New in ver 4.0c: Player pitching report did not total pitches thrown.
New in ver 4.0d: 1. If you change a user defined stat, the heading for user defined batting stat 2 switched with user defined stat 3 ( it corrects itself if you exit the Game Form and get back in) . Also fixed bug where player uniform numbers did not appear in stat printouts if no player position was selected in the Team Form.
New in ver 4.0e: "Error 13 message" during saving of a game caused by entering box scores for Opponent but not entering a final score for the opponent. With this fix the opponent's final score will be calculated by adding all the runs in the box score ( only if a total score was not entered ).
New in ver 4.0f: 1. Fixed ERA if the total innings pitched was only .33. 2. Allows setting the stat order of Stealing%. 3. New Score-It fixes: a) allows use of comma's in roster names. b) fixes import problems if Score-It game date was missing c) Allows the creation of a Score-It roster. ( Press the roster first, then in the TurboStats Stats Viewer use File>Export>Score-it Roster)( includes player number and positions. The top 9 batters in the list are automatically checked as "Batting" in Score-It as a default. Positions come over also using the data in the position field for each player )
New in ver 4.0g: 1. Printing box scores does not skip the first inning. 2. Imports Score-It games smoothly for pitchers who pitched partial innings ( does not prompt to save player changes and loop several times during save ) 3. New option to turn off the printer page break in the Stat Viewer under the Page Setup menu ( great for Windows95 users).
New in ver 4.0h:
1. Drag and Drop players into each game ( or double click ).
2. Improved inputing of game schedules by defaulting to the last date entered for new games .
3. New prompt "OK To Save Game" prevents premature saving of games.
4. Printing Game Schedules now includes the Day Of The Week column.
5. Fixed hang up problem on certain computers when exiting out of the game form without adding any batters to any games. ( strange problem that only affected certain computers ).
6. You can now remove players from any game without having to zero their stats.
7. Automatically exits the game form (if loaded) when pressing the Plot icon or Table>Set Stat Order.
8. Automatically clears the player array after you close a team. Prevents the error message "Player is already on the team" if a player on the previously opened team has the same name as a player on the current team.
