    Until now, when using screen area codes (e.g., via mouse, touch screen, light gun) you could not get a record of the exact x-y coordinates that were selected. The function has been modified so that DirectRT will now record the precise coordinates as well as the usual area code. Not wanting to modify the basic structure of the data files, the coordinate info was added to the key name field where you would ususally see "mouse-l" or "mouse-r". Now you will see, for example, mouse-l:234:500 to indicate that the left mouse button was clicked on x=234, y=500.

    Note we have recently learned that clicking or selecting coordinates within a playing video or movie may not register.

    Modifed the installation package to create appropriate permissions for all users to remedy an occasional licensing issue where administrators could use the software but not regular users.
