FOOTY v1.4
by Andy Mac
QUICK-START GUIDE.
Bung the disk into df0: and switch on.
Fiddle about and you will soon get the hang of it.
If all else fails, read the instructions.
OVERVIEW.
FOOTY is a dedicated football database which is completely mouse driven
and simple to use.
Whilst using footy, you can sit back in your favourite computer chair with
your mouse-mat on your lap and keep track of whats happening in the football
league.
MAIN MENU
ENTER DATA
Click this to load your database with the current league tables.
You should only need to do this the first time you use the program.
league tables are then kept up to date by entering results via the
"ENTER RESULTS" function.
After selecting ENTER DATA you will be asked to select the division
you require followed by the team name.
Choose the option you require from the list on the screen and click
on it with the mouse.
Next you will be required to enter the following information in this format.
HOME WINS-HOME DRAWS-HOME LOSSES-HOME GOALS SCORED-HOME GOALS CONCEDED
AWAY WINS-AWAY DRAWS-AWAY LOSSES-AWAY GOALS SCORED-HOME GOALS CONCEDED
(for details of how to obtain a current database see bottom of file)
This is the format that tables are presented in the National press.
select the number from the screen and click on it.
After this you can enter the teams last six home and away results
or you can skip this with cancel.
This will take you back to the select team screen.
if you wish to enter more data for a team in that division select another
team from the list and repeat the whole process.
If you wish to change the division you are using or return to the MAIN MENU
then click on change division.
This will take you back to the select division screen,if you wish to
enter more data from another division then select the division from the
screen and click on it.
If you wish to return to the main menu then select MENU.
ENTER RESULTS
Choosing this option enables you to keep your data up to date by entering
results in the normal way.
HOME TEAM - GOALS SCORED BY HOME TEAM
AWAY TEAM - GOALS SCORED BY AWAY TEAM
eg. ARSENAL 1 LIVERPOOL 1
After this your result is printed to the screen.
If it is correct then select O.K.
If not hit error and the database will not be changed.
PLEASE NOTE.
When information is entered via either of the above routines,the database is
updated in memory only,
It will be saved to disk only when you "change division" and select yes
from the "DO YOU WANT TO SAVE DATA?" screen.
VIEW DATA.
Selecting division and team gives you the all the current data about one
particular team.
As well as all the usual stuff, you will see on the right hand side of the
screen the position of the selected team in all seven of the league formats
used by the forecast routine.
normal league
home league
away league
home win percentage league
away win percentage league
home lose percentage league
away lose percentage league
It is not a good thing to be top of the last two.
VIEW LEAGUE.
Lets you look at the league tables in any of the above formats,
FORECAST.
The forecast routine will attempt to tell you which matches will result in a
draw.
You will be presented with information about the two teams to guide you in
your selection.
Obviously it is not entirely accurate or I would not be sitting here writing
these docs.
NEW SEASON.
At the end of the season follow the prompts to alter the database ready for
the next year.
If you accidentaly enter this routine you can escape back to the Main Menu
by clicking zero in response to all the prompts.
QUIT.
Fairly obvious really
DISCLAIMER.
Using footy should not harm your computer in any way,but should this prove
to be the case the author will not be held responsible.
When this program left me it was virus free.
If it has picked one up since then,either phone me or use a virus killer.
If the virus killer kills the program send me a blank disk and i will send
you a new copy.

happy to accept a small percentage.
