Revision History GolfLog v8.0 thru v8.1f ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Copyright 1992, 1993 * RiverBend SoftWare * All Rights Reserved ||| New in v8.1f 1.. For those of you who like to bet money on your golf games, two new prompts have been added to the Add Game option. They are "Money Won" and "Money Lost". When you see the "Money Won" prompt, either enter the amount won or if you lost money, press and you will get the "Money Lost" prompt. If you neither won nor lost money, press at the "Money Won" prompt then press again at the "Money Lost" prompt. If you had more than one wager going with other playing partners and you won on one wager and lost on another, then enter the amount won from the wager that was won at the "Money Won" prompt then enter the amount lost on the other wager at the "Money Lost" prompt. By pressing at each of these prompts without entering an amount, a zero is placed in each record for the amount won or lost. DO NOT enter a negative amount in the "Money Won" field such as -5.00 (meaning you lost $5.00). Simply don't enter any amount and press to get the "Money Lost" prompt. If you didn't lose any money, press without entering any amount to get to the next prompt. 2.. Added the necessary code to show the amount won or lost for each Game Record recorded. When GolfLog reads the game record datafile and sees that it's a record from a prior version of GolfLog (v8.0 thru v8.1e) it will show that no won/lost amount was recorded for that record. This same information will show up in the printed Game record. 3.. Added the necessary code to show the amount the Golfer is either wining or losing by on the Summary Screen and printed Summary Record. This is a cumulative amount with the amount lost subtracted from the amount won. If the Golfer has lost more than he/she has won, the amount lost will reflect total winings subtracted from the total losses. As an example, if the Golfer has lost $15.00 over several games and won $8.50 over several more, the amount in the Summary Record will be shown as a $6.50 loss for the cumulative figure. 4.. Modified some of the coding to try and cause it to use less memory when running. GolfLog is not a memory hog but every attempt is made each revision to tweak the memory requirements and cause it to use even less. 5.. Fixed a bug that sometimes caused GolfLog not to close all its open files when returning to the Main Menu. If you've ever deleted a record and when returning to the Main Menu, GolfLog quit running and exited with an error message, this was the cause. Hopefully this is fixed and won't happen again! 6.. Cosmetic changes to various screens. ||| New in v8.1e 1.. Changed codeing to allow for more than 50 Course Records in the Course Handicap List. 2.. Rewrote code for deleting Game Records to make it more efficient and to cause a backup copy of the Game Records to be saved into a file called GAMES.BAK when a Game Record is deleted. 3.. Cosmetic changes throughout. ||| New in v8.1d 1.. Increased the maximum Number of Courses in the registered version to 50. The shareware version still permits a maximum of 2 Course records 2.. Increased the maximum Number of Games in the registered version to 200. The shareware version still permits a maximum of 5 Game Records. 3.. Cosmetic changes throughout. ||| New in v8.1c 1.. Changed the code in the shareware versions to allow for the printing of Game Records and Summary. 2.. Cosmetic changes throughout. ||| New in v8.1b 1.. Removed the List Golfer option from the Main Menu and replaced it with the Course Handicap feature. This feature is available to registered users only. 2.. Changed number of Games allowed in the shareware version from 10 to 5. 3.. Minor cosmetic changes to various screens. ||| New in v8.1a 1.. Changed number of full (18 hole) games required to compute Handicap Index from 5 to 10. The code for the formula used to compute the index was changed also to compensate for the change in the number of games required. This should give an even more accurate handicap index. 2.. Added option to select Golfer and print his/her Summary of all games recorded. 3.. Added option of using F10 Key to quit any of the "add" screens to the "XT" version (GOLF_XT.COM). This was previously only available in the 286 and 386/486 versions. If you wish to quit and return to the Main Menu when at any of the "add" screens, just press then and you'll be returned to the menu. The record you were adding will not be saved. 3.. Minor cosmetic changes to various screens. ||| New in v8.0h 1.. Tweaked code to increase speed and use even less memory in all three (XT, 286, 386/486) versions. 2.. Rearranged selection windows for easier use when selecting records to review, print, etc. 3.. Minor cosmetic changes throughout. ||| New in v8.0g 1.. The file GL.KEY is no longer required in the shareware version only. It makes no difference if it's there or not in the shareware version, however it is still required when running the registered version of GolfLog. 2.. Removed the online Help function as it added additional overhead and wasn't being used by the majority of registered users. 3.. The only "F" Key active now is the Key and it's used to exit back to the main menu when adding information to the database. Just press then to quit to the main menu at any "add" screen. This only works on the two 'AT' versions (GOLF_286.COM and GOLF_386.COM). The F10 key to quit WILL NOT work on the XT version. 4.. Minor cosmetic changes in some of the screens. ||| New in v8.0f 1..

Removed requirement for the GOLFLOG.HLP file in the code for the 8086 XT version only. This file is still required in the 80286 and 80386/80486 versions. 2.. Removed the option of pressing the F10 Key to quit from the 8086 XT version only. This option is still available in the 80286 and 80386/80486 versions. 3.. Minor cosmetic changes in various screens. 4.. No changes were made to the 286 or 386/486 versions. ||| New in v8.0d 1.. Removed the built in Help function in the 'XT' version only. This function was too much of a load for XT machines. The built in Help function is still available in the 286 and 386/486 versions. 2.. Minor cosmetic changes in various screens. 3.. Added additional topics to the online help file (GOLFLOG.HLP). 4.. Added more details to the User Instructions (GOLFLOG.DOC). ||| New in v8.0c 1.. Changed hot key from F1 to F10 to quit at any point in the Add Game, Add Course, Add Golfer, and Handicap Index screens. Now just press F10 then at any point in these screens to return to the Main Menu. 2.. Added online help option. To bring up a list of topics press F1 then scroll the list using the UpArrow and Down Arrow Keys to highlight the selected topic. At that point press to cause a window to appear giving a brief description of the topic selected. This option has added additional memory requirements to GolfLog. For GolfLog to run comfortably, a minimum of 300k memory should be available when GolfLog is started. 3.. You must have the file called GOLFLOG.HLP in the same directory with GOLFLOG.COM and GL.KEY before GolfLog v8.0c will run. 4.. To exit from the Help screens, press the key. ||| New in v8.0b 1.. Added option of pressing F1 then to quit at any point in the Add Game, Add Course, and Add Golfer screens. ||| New in v8.0a 1.. Changed Summary report to show NET Score and NET Hole Average ONLY if the Golfer selected has a valid Handicap Index. ~~~~ 2.. Added an internal change in the code to cause a flag to be reset in each Golfer's datafile when a Handicap Index has been determined by GolfLog. 3.. Minor cosmetic changes to various screens. >> NOTE: (For registered users only) If you're already using >> GolfLog v8.0 then you need to go back and have GolfLog >> re-compute the Handicap Index. >> This will cause a flag to be reset in the individual >> Golfer's datafile so the correct information will be >> shown in the Summary Report. N O T I C E GolfLog will run best if you run the proper version according to the type machine you have. If you have a 386 or 486 machine then always run the 386 version (GOLF_386.COM) rather than the XT or 286 version. Also, it's a lot easier to select the version you plan to use then rename that copy to GOLFLOG.COM using the DOS "RENAME" command. =========================================================================== GolfLog v8.0 thru GolfLog v8.1f ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you're using a version of GolfLog prior to v8.0 then you must start over from the beginning and add new Game and Course Records as v8.0, thru v8.1d WILL NOT read the datafiles that were created by the earlier versions (v1.0 - v7.8). VOICE Telephone support: Available from 9:30 AM to 3:30 PM Central Standard Time. Please do not abuse this privledge! One more call at 3:00 AM to discuss how to use GolfLog will result in voice telephone support being discontinued!
