CADDY.EXE V. 1.1 DOCUMENTATION
by
Michael C. Taylor
NOTE - release 1.1 fixes a potential memory overflow error in
CADDY (as well as the previous misspelling!).
- also improved logic to prevent multiple installations
of CADDY.
CADDY is a memory-resident utility designed for use with Accolade's
MEAN-18 golf simulation. Since I'm not an outdoor duffer and limit my
hacking to MEAN-18, I don't know a whole lot about different clubs, swings,
etc. Because of this, I designed CADDY, a memory-resident table that
tells how far the ball will travel for each club for 3 types of swings.
To activate CADDY, simply type CADDY before playing MEAN-18. This
will install the program which will be activated whenever F1 is pressed.
The table that appears shows 3 types of swings for each club. The first
is a full swing. The second (labeled SHORT) is a swing one line from the
top on the MEAN-18 "swing meter". The last one (DOTTED) is a swing up to
the dotted line on the meter (roughly 1/2 swing).
While playing MEAN-18, pressing F1 will display this table for roughly
10 seconds before returning to the Golf game.
CADDY can be included in a batch file, since I have included logic to
prevent the program from loading itself more than once (If you try to do this
you will get a "CADDY already installed" message.
CADDY was programmed in Turbo Pascal release 4.0 and a listing is
included. Currently, the program does not UNinstall itself, which means
that after the golf game, pressing F1 will still display the help screen.
I hope to add this function in future releases. Also, I would like to add
a routine to allow you to press a key to return to MEAN-18, rather than
use the delay routine.
If anyone has any Inline assembler and/or pascal suggestions on how to
do either, I would appreciate hearing from you (I've already tried several
Pascal routines which invariably "hang" the system so I went to using the
Delay statement).
I would also be interested in hearing any suggestions or comments on
the program and what else may be useful in Online CADDY.
Enjoy!
