-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.02/1a) Due to the manner in which Microsoft Windows handles stack data in
blocks of only 64K it is possible, with multiple windows visible, for
the screen display to become corrupted if available stack memory
becomes low. This is particularly prevalent with the Scoreboard Window.
To alleviate this problem it is possible to recover the Scoreboard
Window by Double Clicking whilst the mouse cursor is over this Window.
1.02/1b) The Cancel Print button on the Print In Progress screen, despite
clearing the print queue does not return access to Willow Scorebook
for further printing. A 'Print Error' will be experienced on any
new attempt to print or at the termination of the Willow Scorebook
program. If you are forced to use the Cancel Print option you should
not attempt another print until the Scorebook is exited and restarted.
1.02/1c) Care must be taken when scoring No Balls using Willow Scorebook as
the same panels are used to score No Balls when the value of a No Ball
is 1 or if the value of a No Ball is 2. If both methods are to be used
you should have a clear understanding of the differences between the
scoring methods for 1 and 2 value No Balls and you are advised to
practice scoring No Balls before attempting a live match.
1.02/1d) During installation some PC's generate an error when tring to copy the
THREED.VBX file to the C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory. This is caused when
a newer version of the file already exists in the C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM
directory. To overcome the problem, rename the existing file and then
run the Willow Scorebook Setup again. To rename the file type :-
RENAME C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\THREED.VBX *.OLD
1.02/2a) The following alterations and improvements were made on the 002
release of Willow Scorebook :-
All Out is now displayed on the Batting Detail & Summary windows
following the dismissal of the last batsman regardless of whether
Retired Not Out batsman remain.
The Run Out Backing Up event has now been added. This allows for
a non striker to be run out without a ball being bowled. An extra
field for this entry is now available on the Run Out panel. Both
the Run Out Backing Up and the Timed Out dismissals now appear on
the Scoresheet surrounded by {} to indicate that the event occurred
without a delivery being bowled.
The value of No-Ball may now be changed during a match to allow
for the forthcoming 2 value no-ball for Bouncers in a Test Match.
The Colour of 4's on the Scoring Position View has been altered
so that it may be seen on machines configured with 256 colours or
more.
Penalty Runs have now been added to the Innings Setup panel to
allow for changes in the target. The Penalty field may contain
negative or positive values and can be used for Penalties or
Bonuses. The calculation of the match result now takes into
account penalty runs. Penalty Runs are displayed on the Match
Summary window if assigned.
The Setup program has been altered to discover errors when
loading .DLL and .VBX files and to retain Willow Scorebook
defaults following a reinstallation.
1.02/2b) The Options Icon Palette now includes floating tips which can be
turned on or off from the Options menu.
The ScoreBoard and Match Summary Windows can now be resized.
1.02/2c) The CSF Export routine has been updated to conform to the v1.07
standard.
1.02/2d) Manual editing facilities have been added to the Batting Detail,
Bowling Detail, Over and Fall Of Wicket windows to allow editing
of all match details during or after the end of play. The editing
is performed by double clicking cells and amending their contents.
The integrity of match information is the responsibility of the
user.
1.02/2e) A Preferences option is added to the File menu allowing the
CRICKET.INI file to be changed within the program. Start up settings
for the Defualt Data Directory, Use Radial Charts, Memory Allocation
and Rotating Ball Logo are included.
1.02/3a) The following alterations and improvements were made on the 003
release of Willow Scorebook :-
Invalid Property Value when printing has now been eliminated. This
occurred when one or more of the standard fonts were missing from
WIN.INI.
The New Resize control has been added.
Selectable Print Fonts have been added to the program. The line
PrintFont1=font name
can now be added to the CRICKET.INI file. where font name is the
name of the installed windows font you wish to use for printing. Five
PrintFonts can be defined.
CSF Export has been updated to comply with issue 1.13.
The Batting and Bowling summary windows now appear following the
commencement of a new match. These two windows replace the previous
Scoreboard and Scoring Position windows.
1.02/3b) Penalty Points may now be entered for each innings. These can be
used to offset matches where rain has reduced the target score. The
Penalty Points fields are included on the Innings Setup screen.
