XG and BBGT seem to disagree about .mat format

This may all be my fault for still using Beggar's Backgammon Terminal as a FIBS client. Overlooking that, I find that when there is a double-drop, XG reads it as the dropper resigning the game before the double. If either the double or the drop are wrong, the error is not measured. I'd be happy to send a file to Xavier if someone can give me an email address.

Here is a snippet:

 9 Point Match 

 

 Game 1 

 xxxxxxx : 0                     dlevy : 0                       

 

  1) 56: 24/18 18/13                 32: 24/21 13/11                 

  2) 31: 8/5 6/5                     14: 11/7 8/7                    

  3) 52: 13/8 6/4*                   15: 25/24 13/8                  

  4) 25: 13/8 6/4                    45: 13/9 6/1*                   

  5) 55: 25/20 20/15 15/10 10/5      16: 7/1 6/5                     

     Doubles => 2                     Drops                           

      Wins 1 point                   

I import this into XG and analyze it. XG misses the double and drop. It says "roll or double" for xxxxxxx after my 6-1, followed by my resigning a single game. When XG exports the game as a text file, I see the following.

9 point match 

 

 Game 1 

 xxxxxxx: 0                           dlevy : 0 

  1) 65: 24/13                         32: 24/21 13/11                    

  2) 31: 8/5 6/5                       41: 11/7 8/7                       

  3) 52: 13/8 6/4*                     51: Bar/24 13/8                    

  4) 52: 13/8 6/4                      54: 13/9 6/1*                      

  5) 55: Bar/5                         61: 7/1 6/5                        

      Wins 1 point 

No wonder my error rate in the match was so low!
