This program only runs on COLOR system and requires an 80
COLUMN SCREEN. Starting with version 3.10.
Version 2.02 fixes some color errors if you were running a
mono system. Having color myself I did not get to test this
100% but saw it run on a mono system and spotted my errors.
If you have a mono system and any trouble displaying this
program please let me know so I can correct it.
Version 2.03 I made some minor changes and most of these were
to the opening and closing screens. This program no longer
requires the BRUN30.EXE runtime library. It is now compiled
under QuickBASIC 4.5 and is a stand-alone program. There was
an earlier release of this version that required the BRUN30.EXE
but decided against it.
Version 3.00 This is a whole new version now written in Turbo
Pascal 5.5. If you have any problems with this new version
please let me know right away. I am always worried when I
convert a program from one language to another. It is very
difficult to test for every circumstance. I have done my best
to support mono displays in this version, which should equal
or surpass earlier versions. I also corrected an error when
deleting the KENO.SCO score file. It was erasing the wrong
file, or at least try to. I did not see this error until I
was working on the conversion from QuickBASIC to Turbo Pascal.
Version 3.10. This version is written in Turbo Pascal 7.0. I
corrected an error in the Payoffs Display. Had some trouble with
the mono support so it has been dropped, at least for this version.
I don't believe it functioned properly in version 3.00. When
testing for some many changes with a new version it is sometimes
easy to miss the obvious.
Version 3.11. Corrected a score file error. Score file has changed
so if you are running an older copy please delete the KENO.SCO
file either from DOS or from within the program. If you see a messed
up score display please delete the score file to correct it. I have
added the time to scores. When correcting the Payoffs display I
created a new error that I did not catch at the time. The Payoff
display is now correct. I hope! (grin)
Version 3.20. More changes in the score file and it is suggested
that if you are currently using an earlier version that the score
files be deleted from inside the program.
Many internal and display changes. Changed the exit screen so that
the background color is now the user's background color. Looks better!
Overall the program is more colorful and easier to understand.
Added HUCKABEY.TXT to all my archives now so that all users get a list
of my current software as of date on HUCKABEY.TXT. Also now contains
an ARCHIVE.TXT so users know what should and should not be in the
archive.
Version 4.00. Corrected an error in the payoff routine that caused
the program to crash if the winnings were too high. Had to make the
values handled by the program larger.
Changed the score file again by adding the number of plays to the Top
Ten. $9,999 in one turn is not the same as $9,999 in five turns.
Wanted the user to see how many turns each player used. Make sure you
erase the existing high score file (menu choice).
A lot of program changes with this release, but the play remains pretty
much the same. Much more color and hopfully more information clearly
displayed. Please let me know if you have problems with this release.
Version 4.01. Fixed a major bug in the play routine. If a users picked
new numbers only previous number from 1 to 15 were blanked. This caused
extra number to remain as picked number, and these were in addtion to
the regular picks. I do not know how long this error was in the program,
might even have been there as far back as the QuickBASIC versions.
Changed the total format and added commas the make them easier to read.
Added still more color to the Top Ten display. THE SCORE FILE HAS NOT
BEEN CHANGED.
Enjoy!
