Model Railroad System Version 2.1.9 Released

Wendell, MA, September 07, 2007 --(PR.com)-- Deepwoods Software is pleased to announce the release of version 2.1.9 of the Model Railroad System. This package includes a collection of libraries and programs designed to help the modeler with many of the more tedious aspects of his or her hobby. Included are libraries for communication with Chubb and Lenz XPressNet networks, a user-mode driver for the Rail Driver control console, a library to parse XTrkCAD layout files, as well as utilities for computing dropping resistors, camera view areas, creating railroad time tables, and a switch-list based freight car forwarder system. There are several key changes in this release:

* Fixed a nasty bug in the Time Table C++ support code.

It was a problem with the print option hash table, which prevented any sort of customization of the printed time tables.

* Fixed a minor bug in the Time Table Tcl code.

A minor problem with error handling when sub-processes die with problems.

In addition to the source code archive, there is also available for download a Linux binary archive and MS-Windows binary archive. Both sets of binaries were built under CentOS 4.5. The Linux binaries are distribution neutral, due to the use of StarPack technology.
