Lineups!
Version 1.0.1
Reference Manual
Lineups! is a supplemental application to It's A Hit! that produces a database of teams and their players to facilitate fast data entry within It's A Hit!. Lineups is available on a yearly subscription basis and comes with a complete database of current Major League teams and players.
The basic concept behind Lineups! is to enable you to use your favorite text editor on your desktop machine to enter your teams and players ahead of time then to download them to your Palm device as Memo Pad memos. Lineups! scans all your memos looking for one is a particular format. When it finds such a memo, it scans the information in it to produce the Lineups! database.
Read the first two chapters in the Tutorial to get an overview of how to use Lineups! The information contained in this portion of the manual is a detailed description of each user interface control in sequence and is meant for reference purposes and as a supplement to the Tutorial.

The Update All Button causes Lineups! to scan your Memo Pad memos and to update the database for every team that it finds in one of the memos. As each memo is being scanned and a team is found, Lineups! displays that team name temporarily in the lower left corner of the screen to give you an indication of how fast it is progressing. |
