CHAPTER 1 - INTRODUCTION
=================================================================
Chapter 1 - INTRODUCTION
Wild Pitch! is a baseball simulation that allows you to test your
skills as a big league skipper by letting you manage players that
perform just as they did in real life. You select the starting
lineups and pitchers, decide when to steal a base, bunt, hit and
run, pinch hit or run, and when to bring in your ace reliever.
Since players are rated using their actual statistics and
tendencies, the ones that hit for high average will consistently
lead the league in batting average, the power hitters will hit
homeruns at the same rate they actually did, and the top base
stealers will be among the leaders in stolen bases. Pitchers will
produce realistic results in strike outs, walks, earned run
average, and many other pitching categories.
So put on the uniform and step into the dugout of one of the
wildest baseball strategy games you've ever played!
1.1 PROGRAM FEATURES
Here are some of the features of Wild Pitch!:
o Easy-to-use modern Windows-like user interface with pull
down menus, dialog boxes, and full mouse capabilities.
o All managerial strategy options are available: base
stealing, hit and run, bunt, squeeze play, position the
defense, bring in pinch hitters and runners, and more.
o View batter, pitcher, and team statistics at any time
during the game. Stats include actual, total replay, all
possible base situations, an incredible number of the new
stats, fielding stats, versus left hand pitching/batting,
versus right hand pitching/batting.
o USA Today-style expanded box scores at any time during the
game.
o Detailed scorecard of the game's play-by-play available
any time during the game.
o Save a game in progress and retrieve it later.
o The scoreboard, lineup cards, ballpark, and play-by-play
result window are always displayed on the screen.
o Ballpark window features simulated baseball action. You
can see the fielders, base runners, batter and on-deck
batter, and view their stats via the 'quick stat' dialog
boxes. The location of the ball is displayed after every
play.
o On-line help is available for every screen.

1.4 WHAT IS SHAREWARE?
Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software
before buying it. If you try a Shareware program and continue
using it, you are expected to register. Individual programs
differ on details -- some request registration while others
require it, some specify a maximum trial period. With
=================================================================
2 Copyright 1992 Michael Savage
CHAPTER 1 - INTRODUCTION
=================================================================
registration, you get anything from the simple right to continue
using the software to an updated program with printed manual.
Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and commercial software,
and the copyright holder retains all rights, with a few specific
exceptions as stated below. Shareware authors are accomplished
programmers, just like commercial authors, and the programs are
of comparable quality. (In both cases, there are good programs
and bad ones!) The main difference is in the method of
distribution. The author specifically grants the right to copy
and distribute the software, either to all and sundry or to a
specific group. For example, some authors require written
permission before a commercial disk vendor may copy their
Shareware.
Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. You
should find software that suits your needs and pocketbook,
whether it's commercial or Shareware. The Shareware system makes
fitting your needs easier, because you can try before you buy.
And because the overhead is low, prices are low also. Shareware
has the ultimate money-back guarantee -- if you don't use the
product, you don't pay for it.
1.5 DISCLAIMER - AGREEMENT
Users of Wild Pitch! must accept this disclaimer of warranty:
"Wild Pitch! is supplied as is. The author disclaims all
warranties, expressed or implied, including, without limitation,
the warranties of merchantability and of fitness for any purpose.
The author assumes no liability for damages, direct or
consequential, which may result from the use of Wild Pitch!."
Wild Pitch! is a "shareware program" and is provided at no charge
to the user for evaluation. Feel free to share it with your
friends, but please do not give it away altered or as part of
another system. The essence of "user-supported" software is to
provide personal computer users with quality software without
high prices, and yet to provide incentive for programmers to
continue to develop new products. If you find this program
useful and find that you are using Wild Pitch! and continue to
use Wild Pitch! after a reasonable trial period, you must make a
registration payment of $25 to Mike Savage. The $25 registration
fee will license one copy for use on any one computer at any one
time. You must treat this software just like a book. An example
is that this software may be used by any number of people and may
be freely moved from one computer location to another, so long as
there is no possibility of it being used at one location while
it's being used at another. Just as a book cannot be read by two
different persons at the same time.
Anyone distributing Wild Pitch! for any kind of remuneration must
first contact Michael Savage at P.O. Box 536, Glen Ridge, NJ
07028 for authorization. This authorization will be automatically
=================================================================
Wild Pitch! User Guide 3
CHAPTER 1 - INTRODUCTION
=================================================================
granted to distributors recognized by the (ASP) as adhering to
its guidelines for shareware distributors, and such distributors
may begin offering Wild Pitch! immediately (However Michael
Savage must still be advised so that the distributor can be kept
up-to-date with the latest version of Wild Pitch!).
You are encouraged to pass a copy of Wild Pitch! along to your
friends for evaluation. Please encourage them to register their
copy if they find that they can use it.
