GoDraw V 6.5.0 is available for general use, as from its release date of 05/08/19.
NOTE
In Version 6.5.0 there is a change to the grade of a player entered in the GoDraw register. The grade is now set to a value derived from the player's rating (GoR). Please see further details of this, and all other changes in the Improvements section for 6.5.0 below.
Player List [1] is the latest list of known players. Please download the player list separately if you are downloading GoDraw V 6.5.0 more than a few days after the release date. It is best to save the file without opening it in the browser - as some might change the formatting.
The current GoPlayers.gdi file is updated regularly, and replaces the one issued with the program. Its location is the same as the installed location of GoDraw. This will be C:\GoDrawSys (the default in Windows XP), or C:\Users\Public\GodrawSys (default in Windows10).
Please ensure that the downloaded file has the correct name and extension (GoPlayers.gdi), as some browsers might append (.html). When you re-run GoDraw, newly-entered players will have names, grades and clubs as up-to-date as at the most recent tournament.
If this is your first use of GoDraw, or you have been having problems installing or running in Windows 10, then please have a look at the Install page.
Some users have experienced issues regarding installation in Windows 10. There has also been some problem loading a registration text file into GoDraw. These issues along with solutions are documented in the Installation page.
Linux users are able to run GoDraw in Wine. The GoDraw-Wine software provides utilities making it easy to run GoDraw in a Linux system, once you have installed Wine. It is available as a tar file, and comes with the GoDraw-Wine manual.
GoDraw-Wine [5] is the software collection.
GoDraw-Wine manual [6] describes how to install and use GoDraw-Wine.
In a nutshell, wine is a program run from the command line in a Linux system. The command: wine GoDraw.exe produces the GoDraw window familiar to Windows users.
I am grateful to John Collins for pioneering running GoDraw in Wine on an Ubuntu distribution. I have tested the scripts included in GoDraw-Wine on the Debian distribution and am running GoDraw in Wine regularly.
Online Manual [7] Includes a quick tour of Godraw.
