ScoreFore is a quick and easy
scorecard for scoring a round of golf for one to four
golfers. Scoring a full round with four players takes as
little as 18 * 4 + 1 = 73 taps. The font size is large
for an easy read while walking the links. Any game can be exported as tab delimited text to the Memo Pad® application. After a HotSync® operation, the memo can be pasted into Excel or Word. No scorecard is easier to use or read, and it's free. |

Compatible with all Palm Computing® connected organizers (Palm™ OS1 not personally tested). Program requires CASL runtime 2.65 or higher, included in this distribution. |
Memory requirements:
Program file is 20 kB. An additional 42 kB is required, if CASL runtime is not already on your Palm™ device, making the total memory requirement 62 kB.
ScoreFore is written in CASL. The prc program file is p-code that must be interpreted by the CASL runtime in order to run on your Palm™ device. This is similar to how Visual Basic and Java require a runtime.
Any desktop system that's running your Palm desktop software (e.g., Windows®, Mac®), will allow installation of ScoreFore.
Memory requirements:
Approx. 300 kB.

On your desktop system, open the scorefore.zip file with your zip file archive program.
Note: Can't read zip files? For Windows users, you can get a copy of WinZip™ (shareware) at WinZip. For Mac user, you can get a copy of ZipIt™ (shareware) at ZipIt.
Use the extract action of your zip archive program, and extract all files to any folder (directory) you choose. It's recommended to use a new folder in the Desktop Software directory (e.g., c:\palm\add-on\scorefore).
If you extract to an existing folder, and if you get a File Overwrite confirmation dialog, click Yes only if the "Replace file" is older than the "With file".
Caution: Overwriting an existing CASL system file with an older file could result in a loss of CASL functionality and/or loss of CASL bug fix.
On the main screen, and with the "All" category selected, do you see the CASLrt icon (CASL runtime)?
If you do not yet have the CASL runtime installed, or you have a version older than 2.6.7 (see step 2.1), use standard Palm™ device install Tool and with "Add..." button specify file:
Note: Substitute your [installation drive and folder] for "c:\palm\add-on\scorefore\" if you chose a different drive or folder.
How do I run the install Tool?
The CASL runtime undergoes periodic updates, and no attempt is made to keep the supplied CASL runtime up to date. For the latest version of the CASL runtime, you can download from http://www.caslsoft.com/download/CASLrt.zip.
With "Add..." button specify file:
Note: Substitute your [installation drive and folder] for "c:\palm\add-on\scorefore\" if you chose a different drive or folder.
Afterwords, the ScoreFore icon will appear on your Palm™ applications screen.
1.1. Delete all state data with program menu command "Delete DB...". If you don't know how, see How To Score.
1.2. Quit program.
1.3. Use Palm™ Memory application to delete program.
1.4. If not used by any other programs, use Palm™ Memory application to also delete CASL runtime.
After this, you may delete any and all files in "c:\palm\add-on\scorefore\" folder.
Note: Substitute your [installation drive and folder] for "c:\ScoreFore" if you chose a different drive or folder.
