STA Update 10-27-98

[Gary N. Larson]

Update 10-27-98 now available at ftp://ftp.wheaton.edu/pub/debate

Sincere thanks to Ross Smith and Cory Puuri for reporting on a bug that
causes a loop in the ballot tabulation screen when ranks are recorded and
certain types of keyboarding errors occur.  This bug has been corrected.  I
took the opportunity to significantly enhance the ballot tabulation
interface (see attached document for description - in the future I will post
an update document to my ftp site that describes any bug fixes/enhancements
etc.).

Thanks also to Shawn Whalen for reporting on a bug that causes an error
message if the Room Entry screen is entered and then exited immediately
without entering any data (occurs right after initialization).  This bug has
been corrected.

Thanks to everyone who has been faithful in reporting their experiences with
the program.  Both Rich and I are interested in the Holy Grail of
bulletproof code that can be used by a wide range of tournament directors
and still contain the features appropriate to all of their tournaments.  My
suspicion is that we are getting close.

I am currently working on modifications appropriate for the Dixie
(particularly the movement between campuses?!).  At McGrory's request I am
also facilitating the adding of teams to a pairing AFTER the round is
already underway.  Continue to send your suggestions my way.

Sincerely,

GARY
