  Problem Symptoms Discovered Status
1 Strategy Penetration Feature for user-customized decks doesn't work After customizing a deck with specific cards and using the Penetration Feature' sliding scale, the number of cards rounds to the nearest full deck 10/15/1999 Under Repair
2 Column headings in Saved Expectation Tables report do not align After saving Expectation Tables to a text file, viewing the tables will show that column headings do not align with the data 10/15/1999 Under Repair
3 Composition-dependent choices using Advanced Feature are not remembered After choosing specific 2-card holdings to be averaged/not-averaged in Advanced feature for strategy generation, when re-enter the screen, the previously-chosen holdings are no longer visible, except on the previously-generated reports. 12/05/1999 Under Repair
4 Sometimes critical indices determined by PBA's combinatoric algorithms do not align with other index generators or published count strategies It's been shown that indices which vary from the optimal index by 1 do not significantly alter a player's expected results. For example, a HiLo decision, such as hit/stand 16 vs T will optimally resolve to a True Count of 0, yet, the reported index for this play is +1. 12/12/1999 See Technical Description on how Indices are Determined
5 KO Count Distribution Chart doesn't show user-specified running count range Sometimes the determined optimal range for Running Count systems will generate a default report for Count Distribution. 12/27/1999 Under Repair
6 Run Time Overflow Error pops up after unchecking an option in thumbnail sketch graph If one options a line on the thumbnail graph, and the line indicates -1 for all counts, when uncheck this line's option the pop-up error will show. 12/27/1999 Under Repair
