BO JACKSON STATS VIEWER
Version 1.0
A Cando Program By
TCC
==========================================================================
INTRO:Bo Jackson Baseball by Data East is a great game but it has its
limitations. The game promises a ton of stats but the way they are
presented leaves much to be desired. Enter Bo Jackson Stats Viewer. Now you
can see how your favorite team or player is doing agaist the opposition.
And printing the stats is but a menu away.

INSTALLATION:Bo Jackson Stats Viewer (BJSV) can be used from floppy or hard
drive. To use from floppy, boot with your workbench and double-click on the
StatsViewer icon. It will ask you to insert volume BO2: in any drive (disk
two of BJBaseBall). It will then read in the latest statistics from the
disk and process them. To install on your hard drive double-click on the
HD-Install icon. It will prompt you for the name of the drawer on your
hard drive where the Bo Jackson Baseball files exist. NOTE: BJSV must be
in the same drawer as the game or it will default to the floppy disk (#2)
and those stats will not be current! Remove BJSV floppy disk and reboot
to use BJSV from the hard drive.
ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS: BJSV assumes that it will have access to a "fully
stocked" c: directory. It uses the AmigaDOS commands: ASSIGN, COPY among
others.
USAGE:Start BJSV by double-clicking on the icon or typing StatsViewer from
the CLI. You will see the title screen while the data is loading and
initializing. NOTE: If BJSV "locks up" on the opening screen, please see
section on "precalculating" the statistics in the BUGS section below.
The next screen is the Stats Window Screen where all the stats are
presented. The four buttons on the right side change between stat modes.
The button oulined in yellow is currently active. INDIV. represents
individual player statistics. TEAM represents team accomplishments and is
furhter modified by a team "TYPE" gadget at the lower left. Click on this
to toggle between OFFENSIVE and DEFENSIVE perspectives. PIT-IND represents
pitchers and their stats. PIT-TEAM represents pitching from a team
perspective. This mode also has an OFFENSE/DEFENSE switch.
To view a given stat category click on the letters in red or blue that form
the headers to the beveled boxes. For example, click on HR to see the NL
and AL leaders in home runs. Note that the category is spelled out in the
caption at the bottom of the screen. All individual stats represent only
the top 10 leaders in each league. BUT...a minimum number of at bats or
innings pitched modifies the eligible pool. That is, just because Joe Blow
is 2 for 2 with a batting average of 1.000 does not put him ahead of Joe
Swat who is 20 for 50 batting .400 and has 50 (fifty) at bats. The minimum
number of at bats is determined by one-half the highest at bat figure. The
same holds true for pitchers with regards to innings pitched.
The menu options are int the PROJECT menu and are About, Greetings, Print,
and Quit. About gives release date and version. Greetings are just that.
Print will output a formatted copy of the stats CURRENTLY in the stats
window. It assumes a lines per page of 66. Quit does just that without
further confirmation.
NOTES:BJSV was done with Cando V1.6 and does NOT write to your disk or
hard drive.
BUGS: BJSV was developed and tested on an Amiga2000 with 2.04 ROMS only.
WB1.3 compatibility is not guaranteed but should not be a problem. NOTE:
if BJSV locks up on the opening screen it is because your statistics
generated by your BJBaseball game are different from mine. I noticed a
difference in spacing with mine and a copy of 1991 major league baseball
stats for BJBB that I received from another source. The PreCalc program is
written in compiled BASIC (should work on an A3000) and serves to interpret
those other stat formats to the one that BJSV requires. It MUST be run each
time before you view the stats. It does NOT write to the disk. It creates a
file in RAM: called fixed.prt which BJSV will use instead. USAGE:
Double-click on the HDPreCalc or FDPreCalc icon to execute a batch file
which will run the proper PreCalc program and then load and run BJSV.
