With this release we want to show off our new Backgammon board, which is more colorful draws the pieces more neatly. This release also fixes a deeply hidden bug in our white move generator. Believe us, we got lots of mail about our Backgammon cheating when moving 6's in the endgame!! Thanks to those alert users who caught us sonambulating and completed those really clear Software Problem Reports. Tenkey pad users, accountants especially, will be very pleased to know that when moving pieces the delimiter character for moves can now be a decimal point as well as a space. This allows for faster input for those who are fast at tenkey pad entry. The space also works as with previous versions. This release also features a complete internal restructuring in the program itself. Software Creations has thus laid the foundation for a Championship-strength Backgammon game in the future. We'd like to know, however, is there any interest out there for an even stronger version of Backgammon? We have the capabilities of doing so, but currently it keeps blowing us away!
