Lotto Challenger is a number selection program that can be used with
all Pick-5, Pick-6 and Pick-7 Lotto games. Lotto Challenger is by
design, easy to learn and use. However, we recommend that you print
the documentation file, LC.DOC, and read through it before using the
program. Other files you should also read are CHANGES.TXT,
FILES.TXT, SYSTEMS.TXT and BOOKS.TXT.
To print any of these files, type "TYPE A:FILENAME.EXT > PRN",
substituting FILENAME.EXT with the actual name and extension of the
file. For example, to print the file CHANGES.TXT, you should type
"TYPE A:CHANGES.TXT > PRN" (without the quotation marks). This
example assumes your Lotto Challenger program diskette is in drive A.
Since this version is much larger than previous versions, it was
necessary to compress some of the non-critical files in order to
distribute all the files on one 360K 5 1/4" diskette. The file
FILES.COM is a self-extracting compressed file and contains the
following non-critical files: BOOKS.TXT, CHANGES.TXT, CONVSYS.TXT,
FILES.TXT, LC.DOC, SYSTEMS.TXT, WHEEL5.SYS, and WHEEL7.SYS.
NOTE: If you received Lotto Challenger on a 3 1/2" 720K diskette,
there is enough room on the diskette for all program files without
compressing. Therefore, there is no FILES.COM file on the diskette.
You can ignore the following paragraph.
Before extracting these files, it will be necessary to copy the
file FILES.COM either to another formatted floppy diskette or to
your hard disk. DO NOT attempt to extract the files prior to
copying the file, since there is not enough space on one 360K
diskette for all the files. Once you have copied the file, you can
extract all the files by simply typing "FILES" and pressing the
ENTER key. Once you have extracted the files, you can delete the
file FILES.COM.
We have spent many hours developing Lotto Challenger over the past
two years. We estimate total development time to be about 2000
hours spent in some way, form, or fashion getting Lotto Challenger
to this point. We have enjoyed most of that time (who really likes
debugging programs!), but expect some compensation for our efforts.
Put yourself in our place; we are sure you'll agree.
A data file for the Florida lottery is included with the package
so that you can begin using the program immediately. Of course
you can type in the numbers for your own state if you wish.
Payment of the $29.50 registration fee entitles you to the most
recent version of Lotto Challenger, program support, a current
data file of your choice, our regularly distributed newsletter, a
CompuServe Introductory Membership, and a 10% discount on all
lottery books ordered through Data Solutions. You can print a
registration form by pressing F9 at the Lotto Challenger main
menu, and then pressing F10 at the closing screen.
Program support is provided via CompuServe, telephone and mail.
If you are not a member of CompuServe, registration of this ASP
software entitles you to a Introductory Membership in CompuServe
which includes a User ID, Password and $15.00 usage credit.
This is a Shareware program. It is NOT FREE. Do not confuse the
purchase of this package from a distribution house from your
obligation to register, if you decide to continue using this program.
Keep the cost of Shareware down by registering for Shareware
software that is of value to you!
We hope you enjoy using the program. Please let us know any time you
win more than $100.00 using Lotto Challenger. Your name and winnings
will be included in the next Lotto Challenger Newsletter. Any
suggestions for program improvement are always welcome.
