- What is FGP?
-
- FGP is a program
- written primarily for people participating in Autosport's Fantasy Grand
- Prix competition. It allows the user to keep track of up to 100 individual
- teams. This is useful as Autosport only ever prints the top (and bottom
- <shudder>) 100 teams and most people aren't in there :-(
-
- Is that all it does?
-
- Pretty much. It will however handle
- an entire season of results, rather than the less-than-half season
- used in the Autosport competition.
-
- What will it run on?
-
- FGP was primarily developed on the
- Amiga, but, by only using portable C code, it can also be compiled
- and run on other platforms. It has successfully been compiled on
- several Unix systems and I have been informed that it has compiled on OS/2.
- It won't compile and run under either Windows or MS-DOS (and
- similar) since it requires reasonable sized filenames.
-
- I've used an earlier version of FGP, what does version 2.10 offer me?
-
- Well first, it's much faster
- than previous versions. This is not really important in a program like FGP,
- but the speed up is quite noticeable, particularly under Unix.
-
- Secondly, it provides an improved version
- of the standard race ouput and two new complete-season tables detailing
- the scores obtained by the drivers and the teams in all races so far.
-
- Thirdly, to accomodate disqualified drivers a
- new form of data file is being used.
-
- Fourthly, it still reads the old data
- files so you'll only need to create new data files if you want to.
-
- Fifthly, it allows comments in any of
- the data files it uses (with one exception).
-
- Finally, it provides more error checking
- of the data files (no more Unknown drivers in the output).
