@Formula 1-Database V 5.0
------------------------
Formula 1-Database V 5.0 is a program
for editing, calculating and printing
the results of the formula 1 drivers
championship with the C 64 and C 128
(in C 64-mode) in a comfortable way. On
the C 128 the 2 MHz mode can be used to
accelerate calculations.
The program consists of the parts
F1-BOOT
F1-VERWALTUNG
F1-SURFACE.OBJ
F1-CHR/MOB.BIN
F1-MAIN
which must be on the same disk.
F1-datafiles are marked with two
leading graphic characters looking
simular to a finishing flag.
To run Formula 1-Database, use the
command
LOAD"F1-BOOT",8,1
which loads all parts and starts the
program automatically.
USING THE PROGRAM:
Formula 1-Database V 5.0 can be
controlled with the keyboard or a
joystick in port 2. When using the
keyboard, the following keys are
important:
"Cursor up/down":
Select line
"Cursor left/right" or "+/-":
Forward/back
"F1/F3":
Paragraph up/down
"F5/F7":
Line up/down
"HOME/CLR":
Move to start/end
"RETURN":
Activate/enter
"P":
Print
"M":
Back to main menu
If you use the joystick, the up/down
directions are equal to cursor up/down.
By pushing it left or right you can
choose one of the icons in the frame of
the screen, which can be activated with
the fire button. From left to right the
icons work the same way as "F1", "F3",
"F5", "F7", "-", "+", "M" and
"RETURN".
The new charset contains the German
"Umlaute", which can be entered with
"Shift :"(oe), "Shift ;"(ae), "@"(ue),
"C= o"(Oe), "C= p"(Ae), "Shift @"(Ue)
and "Pound"(ss).
MAIN MENU:
1.)Change parameters:
If there is no file in memory, one can
be created by entering the maximum
numbers of drivers and races. Be
careful: These values can't be changed
afterwards!
You can also activate or deactivate
(for example necessary when using
certain cartridges) the 2 MHz mode of
the C 128, choose the printer type
(Epson 9- or 24-pin models and MPS
801-compatible ones), control the
sending of linefeeds and set the
secondary adress for the transparent
mode of your printer interface. The
transparent mode sends all chars
without transformation to the printer,
the secondary adress for it depends on
the interface model (for example 1 for
the Wiesemann 92000, see manual). The
value "256" sends the output to the
userport.
2.)Enter drivers:
Select line and press "RETURN" to enter
the drivers/teams. With "P" you can
print a list of them.
3.)Enter results:
With "factor" you can select if full or
half point are given to the drivers. If
a race has to be stopped before
finishing most of the distance, the
winner for example can get only five
instead of ten points.
4.)Show results:
Here you can see and print the results
of the races.
5.)Show statistics:
Shows statistics of places and points
for a driver.
6.)Show points:
Shows table with points from the first
to the selected race. If two or more
drivers are equal, the number of first,
second, ... places decides of the
position.
7.)Save file:
All F1-datafiles on the disk and the
name of the file in memory are shown
and can be chosen. After an optional
modification, the saving begins. With
"+" or Icon 6 the directory of another
disk is loaded.
8.)Load file:
If there is already a file in memory,
you get a warning that it will be
deleted by loading a new one.
9.)Quit/restart:
A restart deletes a file in memory and
allows to create a new one.
2 and 7 can only be chosen if there is
a file in memory, for 3 at least one
driver has to be entered. To activate
4-6 the result of a race must exist. If
the necessary data isn't there, you
hear a signal tone.
Printing is possible at 2, 4, 5 and 6.
If the printer is not ready, you get a
warning sound; you hear the same sound
when there is a disk error.
If you find a bug, please send a mail
to "thkle@stud.uni-sb.de". Suggestions
and comments are also welcome.
