How to install this version of Wintrack...

1. Remove any previous versions of Wintrack from your system - or make sure that you do not install the new version to a program folder that already contains an older version.
2. Run Install2411027.exe. The WinZip Self-Extractor dialog box appears. Specify a destination folder for unzipping the files. This folder will be the Wintrack program folder. The suggested default is C:\Wintrack. Click the Unzip button to start the unzipping process.
3. WinZip Self-Extractor extracts the Wintrack files and folders to the specified program folder and displays a message when done. Click OK to close the message window. Back to the WinZip Self-Extractor dialog, click the Close button.
4. Next, you create a desktop shortcut to the program. Open the folder into which you have installed Wintrack. Select the application file Wtr32.exe and drag it to the desktop. If you want to edit the name of the shortcut or want to specify a working directory for Wintrack, right-click the shortcut and select rename from the menu which appears.
5. Double click the shortcut to run Wintrack. It looks for an initialization file WTR2410902.INI in the Windows directory of your system. The file may already exist if you have previously used Wintrack 2.4.010902 or later. If the initialization file is not found, the following happens:
   • The program issues a message telling you that an initialization file WTR2410902.INI is being created in the Windows directory of your system.
   • Then Wintrack runs the Locate Help Home Page dialog asking you to specify the path to the help home page file Index.htm. During installation, this file was unzipped to the subfolder Hlp of the Wintrack program folder.
   • Finally it automatically starts the on-line tutorial which is part of its on-line help system and provides a step by step introduction to working with Wintrack.

How to remove Wintrack...

1. Delete the Wintrack program folder and all files and subfolders it may contain.
2. From the Windows folder of your system delete the configuration settings file WTR2410902.INI.
3. Remove the program shortcut from the desktop.

What has changed since version 2.4.10823...

• If provided by the recording device, case documents now store GMT time and date of the first point in each trial. To make this possible, the case document file format had to be modified. Case documents saved by Wintrack 2.4.010902 or later can no longer be opened with earlier versions of the program.
• For the variable definition statement Matrix you can now set Data=Date or Data=Dtime to use GMT date and time or GMT time of day in analyses. When using the statement Tabulate, you can now set Cmnt=date or Cmnt=time to display time and date as dd.mm.yyyy or hh:mm:ss, respectively.
• The Import GPSMS1 command allows to import GPS data recorded outside the Swiss Grid Zone.
• A new mouse shortcut has been added: Alt-Shift click a spot inside a trial view to center the view on the clicked spot without changing the zoom factor.
• The variable definition statement Compare has a new Mode parameter. It gives access to various ways of comparing the data in two trials.
• Expressions allow two new operators: > and < to move elements in an array up or down, respectively.
• Several smaller bugs have been removed.
