SOFF BALLS Convert Program 1.2
SOFF BALLS versions 4.x and later are NOT compatible with
versions 3.2 and earlier. File formats have changed. However,
you can create files in the new 4.x and later format from files
created by 3.x and earlier versions by running SBCONV.EXE. Type
SBCONV to start the program. Then enter the path where the old
files exist and the path where you want the new files to be
created. If a file you are converting to already exists, you
can replace the file or bypass processing that file. Be very
careful replacing files (the old file will be deleted). SOFF
BALLS version 5.0 IS compatible with version 4.x.
Please note the following:
- Player names longer than 14 characters will be truncated.
The names were shortened in 4.x to allow more categories to
be displayed on the batting and pitching report screens.
- All league game types will be converted to game type 1. 4.x
allows you to name up to 7 game types. You may want to set
up new game types and then change the game types for
previously recorded games.
- All sacrifices will be converted to sacrifice flies. 4.x
tracks sacrifice flies and sacrifice hits (sacrifice bunts).
Versions 3.x and earlier put all sacrifices into the same
category.
- On-base percentage (OBP) is computed differently with 4.x.
Sacrifice flies are now included in the OBP computation
(same as major league method - see the README file).
