- Baseball Lite --- by Robert P Dale (rdale@norden1.com)
-
- Welcome to my first released program!
-
- This was written with Visual Basic 4.0 for Windows95.
-
- Internet connectivity was provided with Devsoft's IPPort control,
- (http://www.devlink.com) and the IconTray control developed by Scott
- Adkins.
-
- Baseball Lite is a simple program for those who want updated baseball
- scores without the computer load of Java and Netscape sitting in the
- background. Once every few minutes it pulls down the scores from
- USA Today (www.usatoday.com) and pulls out all of the "In Progess"
- and "Completed" numbers and cycles through the list continuously.
-
- If you don't want it on the screen but would like updating to continue
- just click on the "H" -- it will disappear. Click on the baseball icon
- (WIN95) to bring it back. Also, if you move the mouse over the baseball
- in the tray you'll see the last update time.
-
- To keep the form on top (like the 3.1 clock) just click on the checkbox -
- to move the screen click and hold the checkbox, then move it to
- wherever you want.
-
- When you're all done, double-click on the background of the score form
- to quit.
-
- This all is just a little intro to get you interested in the full
- program. "Sports Scores" allows you to choose different servers,
- click on the score to get play-by-play updates and allows you to
- select different sports. The registered version is available for
- only $19.95.
-
- If you're interested in getting updates via your pager, and it can
- be reached by EMail (I know USA Mobile is available, others may
- be as well) I have a program that will automatically dial at
- a time interval you set, get the latest score and scoring update
- and route it to your pager, then disconnect. That'll run you $10.
-
- Individual Lite programs will be available at no cost.
-
- If you have any bug / suggestion reports or are interested in the
- full version, feel free to contact me at any time.
