Thanks for trying this Version 1 Build 48.

All the features from the CD-ROM disc dos
version(s) are in this interface and two new
feature.  In addition to these, BG Interface has
a two FREE databases:  a sample 4 checker bearoff 
database in the home board and Race database. 
Race give you equities for one checker racing 
against one checker with no hitting.  These equities
are usefull in backgammon for deciding doubles, 
redoubles, takes and passes in races with little 
or no contact.  
 
A new feature is a Monte Carlo simulations with
a checker in the outerboard (points 7 - 12). One
or both sides can one 1 checker in the outerboard.

Another new feature finds the "closest position" for
the side on roll.  The "closest position" would be 
the position your opponent would have to be the
smallest favorite and smallest underdog for each
cube position. 

You can look up equities etc for Hyper-Backgammon
from the Hyper-Backgammon game disc.  Also, keep 
in mind that when Hyper-BG when both sides have 2 
checkers or less is the same as backgammon (this 
is not true when one or both side have 3 checkers
because of gammon and backgammon). Hence, you 
can look up any backgammon position when both 
sides have 2 checkers or less anywhere on the board.

You can now change the checker you putting on the 
board by:

1. by changing the Red Checker / Green Checker
   check box
2. click any checker of the other color 
    

Know problems are:

1. you can not click on a label on a checker to take 
   it on or off the board 
2. some touch pad on laptop put checkers down when 
   you don't want them put dowm.....disable the 
   enhancements in touch pad in the mouse icon in
   control panel 

Many people have reported to me that the interface
work fine under Windows NT.....but I have not 
tested it myself. 


Any other ideas for new features??

If any system files are replace, backup copies are
put in a dir backup under the program dir for
BG Interface.  For the setup defaults this would be:
"c:\Program Files\BG Interface\backup"

Also, there is a program to UnInstall BgInterface.
It is UnInstall-BG.exe and is the the dir/folder
where the program is install.

I would greatly appreciate feed back on
bugs your comments and suggestions .
