BETA TEST VERSION 1.00
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
DISCLAIMER: I do not guarantee SESTATS to do anything.
If you decide to use it, you accept ALL risks involved with that use.
I warn you now to back up your MEMBERS.LST file before each use
of SESTATS, and to completely check its validity before using
SESTATS the next time. This program was tested on a 486 using
DOS 5.0.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
SESTATS Warranty
Nustats software and documentation are provided to users under
the shareware concept, in which users may thoroughly test the
program before paying for it. Because of the diversity of condi-
tions, hardware, and other software under which the program may
be used, no warranty of fitness for a particular purpose can be
offered.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Evaluation copies
You may try SESTATS on a 30-day trial basis to determine if this
program meets your needs. You must then either register the pro-
gram, or quit using it.
You may not modify SESTATS in any way that changes the program's
computer instructions.
You may give UNMODIFIED copies of SESTATS to others so they can
evaluate it for their needs, subject to the same restrictions and
conditions above. Be careful to distribute SESTATS in its
original ZIP format ONLY. There are several utility files that
SESTATS must have in the current directory to operate at all.
If you copy only the SESTATS.EXE file and give it to someone,
then they will NOT be able to use it!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
INSTRUCTIONS :
GENERAL
+++++++
SESTATS reads your MEMBERS.LST file into a database. You may then display
and edit each player, whether computer or human, and display leader
lists for such categories as Scoring Leaders, Driving Leaders, etc. Once
thru SESTATS writes the database back into you MEMBERS.LST file. This is
why you should be VERY careful to keep a good backup of your MEMBERS.LST
file, ESPECIALLY while SESTATS is in its BETA version.
Note that SESTATS will write your MEMBERS.LST file back out in alphabetical
order, rather than the GOLF.EXE order of greatest number of rounds played
listed first. GOLF.EXE will resort the file in its order as you use that
program.
The package consists of the following files:
SESTATS.EXE
STATS.BAT
SESTATS.DD
SESTATS.CHO
SESTATS.SCN
FILES.DAT
YES.FIL
NORMAL.FIL
REINDEX.BAT
REBUILD.EXE
Place all the files into your JNSE directory.
Run the program by typing STATS at the DOS prompt and pressing ENTER.
(Note that typeing SESTATS directly WILL NOT WORK.)
==========================================================================
DATA FILES
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The program will create the following files:
SESTATS.DBD - The database version of Members.lst
SESTATS.DBI - The database index for Sestats.DBD
PRINTING
---------
To print any screen, you may use the PRT-SCRN function.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
SESTATS Menu
Just use the Up and Down Arrow keys to highlight the function you
want to use, and hit ENTER.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Player Statistics Screen
PgUp and PgDn will move to the next or previous player.
Up and Down Arrows will move to the next or previous data field.
Left and Right Arrow and Backspace will move with the current data field.
The Delete function deletes the current record.
The Replace function replaces the contents of the current player with
any changes you have made. You only need to use this if you
have changed the Player Name.
The Save function saves the contents of the current player. Use REPLACE
instead of this function if you have changed the Player Name!!
If you change the name and the choose save, you will actually
ADD another player record, as well as retaining the original
that you started with.
The Clear function clears the screen so that you can enter a NEW player.
The Choices Function works on certain fields where data entry is
restricted to a fixed number of selections. A menu will pop up
showing you the valid entries. Use the arrow keys to highlight
one of them and hit the ENTER key.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Leaders menu selections will show a sorted list of all the players'
performance in that category. All players in the database are
shown, ten at a time. Use the PgUp and PgDn keys to move thru
the list.
__________________________________________________________________________
REGISTRATION
The program is being distributed as Shareware. After the evaluation period
the software should be registered or removed from use.
I decided to make this product Shareware due to the sophistication of the
code I wound up writing for the user interface. The statistics themselves
were relatively easy to handle, but the file editing, point and shoot
menus, and fully editable screen format and database functions were NOT
easy to finish.
Registered Users of SESTATS will receive their Live (or post Beta) version
of SESTATS on diskette via mail. Any further releases and upgrades of
SESTATS (and I expect that there will be some upgrades as time goes by)
will also be sent automatically to registered users for a minimum of a
one year period.
