DISCLAIMER: I'm going to keep this in plain language. I do not
guarantee NUSTATS to do anything. If you decide to use it, YOU
ASSUME ALL RISKS involved with that use. So, if you lose data
or your computer malfunctions, or your wife divorces you, or if
anything at all happens in your life, it's your fault and don't
bother me. This program worked fine on an 8088, an 8086, an
80286 and an 80386 machine using DOS versions 2.1, 3.2, 3.3,
3.3+, 4.01, and 5.0 with no problems.

NUSTATS Warranty
Nustats software and documentation are provided to users under
the shareware concept, in which users may thoroughly test the
program before paying for it. Because of the diversity of condi-
tions, hardware, and other software under which the program may
be used, no warranty of fitness for a particular purpose can be
offered.
**************************************************************************
Evaluation copies
You may try NUSTATS on a 14-day trial basis to determine if this
program meets your needs. You must then either register the pro-
gram, or cease using it.
You may not modify NUSTATS in any way that changes the program's
computer instructions. The program will self-destruct if you try
to hack or modify the code.
You may give UNMODIFIED copies of NUSTATS to others so they can
evaluate it for their needs, subject to the same restrictions and
conditions above.
**************************************************************************
REGISTRATION
If you like the software and want to use it, then please take the
time to register it. Registration means putting $20.00 in an
envelope and mailing it to me. I spent about 200 hours writing and
compiling this program and this documentation. It's worth at least
10 cents an hour. For your convenience, the last page of this
documentation file is the registration form. All proceeds from this
software will be used to enhance and maintain the Double Eagle BBS.
HOW NUSTATS WORKS:
GENERAL
+++++++
This program is designed to give users the capability of importing
RES files produced by the Jack Nicklaus Unlimited Golf and Course Design
game, which is distributed by Accolade Software, and produce statistical
data on the players and the courses played.
It stores the original RES file in its original configuration. That
file can be recalled at a later date and re-created as a disk file in the
original format.
All data that you type into the program is converted to uppercase. This
means that when entering a filename or other data, you may use upper
case or lower case. When entering the location and name of the RES file
you wish to import to the program, you have the option of typing the
file extension of "RES" or not typing it. If you don't, the program
will add it. However, the file containing the data (the RES file),
which is sitting in a directory somewhere, MUST HAVE A FILE EXTENSION OF
RES. The program will not be able to import files which do not have an
extension of RES.
The package consists of the following files:
NUSTATS.EXE REGISTER.FRM
NUSTATS2.EXE NUSTATS.DOC
Place all the files into any directory. I strongly recommend you make a
separate directory. Then change into that directory and type NUSTATS and
press the ENTER key. You may track several separate collections of data
by making a directory for each and placing a copy of the two EXE files in
each directory.
DATA FILES
**************************************************************************
The program will create the following files:
ALLRNDS.DAT - Each RES file imported is stored here as is.
COURSES.DAT - A listing of the different courses for which a RES file
has been imported under selection F1 on the first menu.
PLAYERS.DAT - A listing of the different players for which a RES file
has been imported under selection F1 on the first menu.
DBLEAGLE.DAT - This file will contain a listing of all double & triple
eagles scored on all courses by all players. If a hole-
in-one is scored on a par 4 or par 5, it will be stored
in this file and will also show up as a hole-in-one.
SIXNAROW.DAT - This file will contain a listing of all rounds on all
courses by all players, where the player scored birdie
or better on at least six holes in a row.
For each player, a file which is the player's name with all the spaces
and odd characters taken out. Examples here would be:
Jack N. = JACKN.DAT Eddie C. = EDDIEC.DAT
Lars X. = LARSX.DAT Chesney = CHESNEY.DAT
For each course, a file which is the name of the RES file. Examples
here would be:
Course name RES filename STATS filename
------------- -------------- ----------------
Scorpion SCORPI.RES SCORPI.DAT
The TPC at Avenel AVENELTK.RES AVENELTK.DAT
**************************************************************************
PRINTING
---------
To print any screen, you may use the PRT-SCRN function. However, there
is a section in module two that has several data collections that may be
printed. The two main Statistical screens (for courses and for players) may
be printed by pressing the F10 key. This option is listed onscreen.
SECTION 1 - The file NUSTATS.EXE
**************************************************************************
**************************************************************************
First Menu
++++++++++
F1 - This selection allows you to import a RES file. Follow the
onscreen instructions and enter the NAME (and PATH if required).
If you do not have a set of files with that name, you will be
prompted to create new files or add the incoming RES file to an
existing set of files. If you opt to create, the program will do
just that and after a few seconds will display the contents of the
RES file on the screen.
If you opt to add the incoming RES file to a existing set of files,
the screen will clear and then you will be presented with list of
the possible courses. Enter the database name you wish to receive the
data exactly as you see it on the screen. After a few seconds, the
incoming information will be displayed on the screen.
F2/F3- These selections will allow you to select a round played on JNSE,
which has been imported AS A RES FILE, and rewrite the original
RES file in its original format. You will be prompted for the
name you wish to give the new RES file. You can enter the old
name (if you can remember it) or some new name. Remember, DOS
limits filenames to 8 characters plus a 3 character extension.
The program will insure that the filename extension is RES.
F4 - This selection allows you to display and\or then print a scorecard.
you will cycle through the rounds played in the Prodigy mode and
by pressing the F10 key, print the round displayed on the screen.
ESC - This selection will cause the program to shift control to the
second module and display the first menu there. Selections on that menu
will allow you to display the course ratings statistics. The Trophy Room
Menu is also accessed from this new menu.
**************************************************************************
End - The END KEY will allow you to exit the program and return to DOS.
**************************************************************************
**************************************************************************
SECTION II - The file NUSTATS2.EXE
First Menu
++++++++++++++++
F1 - This selection will present you with a choice of the courses you
have set up in the database (the same one presented if you opt to
add a RES file to an existing course). Enter the course name you
wish to receive the data exactly as you see it on the screen. The
STATS screen will display its format and you will see the number of
rounds (top center of the screen) count off the number of rounds
imported for that course. At the end of that count, the statistics
for that course will be displayed.
You may print the display by pressing the F10 function key.
F2 - The PLAYER STATS selection will present another menu which lists
choices of: F1 - One Player's Data On All Courses; and F2 - One
Player's Data On One Course. The data displayed will include all
data which meets the selection criteria.
F3 - This selection will present the TROPHY ROOM MENU. See below.
F4 - This selection will present another menu which will list the
different printing options.
Esc - The ESCAPE KEY will allow you to return to the Main Module. The
first menu there will be displayed.
End - The END KEY will allow you to exit the program and return to DOS.
**************************************************************************
**************************************************************************
Trophy Room Menu
++++++++++++++++
F1 - This selection will display another menu where you will select
whether you want to see the ACES for a Player or a Course.
From there, if you select Player (F1), you get the PLAYER SELECT
screen. Enter the player name and if that player has scored any
aces, they will be displayed. If there are enough to fill the screen
with some left over, the MORE prompt will be displayed in the upper
righthand corner of the screen. If you select Course (F2), you get
the COURSE SELECT screen. Enter the course name and if that course
has any aces scored, they will be displayed. If there are enough to
fill the screen with some left over, the <MORE> prompt will be
displayed in the upper right corner of the screen.
F2 - This selection sends you to the PLAYER SELECT screen. Enter the
player name and if there are any DOUBLE EAGLES or TRIPLE EAGLES
in that players file, they will be displayed. If there are enough
to fill the screen with some left over, the <MORE> prompt will be
displayed in the upper right corner of the screen.
F3 - Same as F2 for rounds which contain 3 or more scores of eagle or
better, except that the data is displayed in a scorecard format.
F4 - Same as F3 for rounds in which each hole score was par or better.
F5 - Same as F3 for rounds where the total score was less than 60.
F6 - Same as F3 for rounds where the player has scored birdie or better
on at least six holes in a row during any one round on any course.
Esc - The ESCAPE KEY will allow you to return to the first menu in the
main program.
End - The END KEY will allow you to exit the program and return to DOS.
