Getting Help
The file on this disk called NOTE.HLP can be viewed through the menu
of Takenote, after you bring it up by pressing the right mouse button.
NOTE.HLP can also be just type out like this file, or printed with
the statement A>TYPE NOTE.HLP > PRN
THIS IS VERSION 6: Includes tutorial feature. See NOTE.HLP for
details of this and other features.
Note: I worked out all of the old bugs for this
release, and I've tried to make the tutorial en-
hancement bug free - but this is the first release
of version 6. If you run into any problems they
might be a move order problem. If you can't play a
move that you know is legal then try changing line
numbers down and then forwarding to the end of that
line, and then moving up a line number. Please let
know (drop me a line) if you have any problems with
my TakeNote chess study utility, or if there is any
thing you'd like to see added to it.
Of Interest To Programmers and The Technicaly Minded
Pre-Release Enhancement - I just decided to include one of my debug
routines. The regular way to invoke this
program is by typing TAKENO6, however there
is a command line switch; 1. By typing
TAKENO6 1 you'll replace the regular menu
with a debug screen. After making each move
move the mouse cursor into the menu field to
update it (I wrote this for myself, so it's
not polished). You'll see the individual
node information update in their internal
format. Note: The board is stored in an
array with elements numbered from 11 to 88.
11 is the white queen's rook square; 88 is
the black king's rook square; square 21 is
the second rank, first file. When you
select Display moves from the menu you see
long hand algebraic notation; e.g., e2 - e4.
