RTools 2.1.36 (Alpha 12)

I will be posting alpha 12 (v.36) sometime tomorrow. There are several improvements with this update:

- EPIC updated slightly from the RTools side and significantly from the web side. The included EPIC web files includes the updated interface, as well as being able to handle the "Previous Rounds" code additions in RTools.

- Match result slips have adjustments to handle printers that do not follow normal margins. In addition, there is a strip added to the left-hand side of the printout, which is simply a character repeated. The goal here is to make match result slips more quickly identifiable when working with result slips in several different events.

- All scrolling windows have their contents shifted a tad to the right, as when used maximized with CRT screens the leftmost columns were somewhat difficult to read.

- Menu option added to export the local player database in WER into a format that is readable by v3 and WER. The export option in WER is only readable by other WER programs.


There's no exact ETA for this update in terms of time. I just got a new external hard drive, and I'm using this opportunity to run some hardcore drive checking systems on my now-4 drives. This goes at the pace of a little more than 1GB/minute, and I have a little over 4TB to go through here. As the machine doing all this is my programming machine, I'll need to wait for a break in this overall new-drive process to actually get everything together and push it online.

Update 09/30/10 1AM: The update is online, with the updated EPIC files; the external transfers aren't going as well as I expected, so this computer is back to use for normal things. Also, this update pre-emptively changes all "September" listings to "October" a day early.
