Versions 7.20 And 7.20C Released

Release Date: 6-16-2006

• Most of the changes in this revision have to do with the use (or non-use)
  of DirectX:

  1.  Went back to using DirectX7 library.  Still requires Minimum of DirectX 8.

  2.  Use DirectX sound and multi-media sound players in concert with each
  other.  Known problem of DirectX sounds disappearing and reappearing which
  is a Windows/DirectX issue not a software issue.  Therefore, use the
  multi-media player to play 'priority' sounds and DirectX to play sounds
  that may occur in multiple (example:  lane trigger sounds).

• Enable use of space bar and F8-F12 to toggle power in Practice session.
  Eliminate capability of entering text for lane identification in Practice.

• Corrected a report printing problem.

• Automatically load the last setup parameter definitions for Race and
  Dash and added a 'Load Defaults' button option to load the default setup
  values instead.

• Limit the width and height of the display forms to the current size of
  the computer CRT.  These bounds could be exceeded if the screen resolution
  has been changed or copying and using a configuration file from a different
  computer.  Portions of the session display (for example:  time remaining in
  race) could be hidden if the display form height is allowed to exceed the
  screen height.

• Many other changes were made concerning sound, but will be transparent to
  the typical user.
