[B] Installation Instructions
================================================================
1) Installations for a new season

a) Copy all files to a new directory (eg C:\NFL95)

Move THREED.VBX, SPIN.VBX and VBRUN300.DLL to your Windows
System directory (probably called C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM)
c) Run NFLPOOL.EXE
d) Enjoy!
2) Upgrades for a current season
--------------------------------
a) Overwrite NFLPOOL.EXE and NFLPOOL.HLP in your existing
directory with the newer versions.
b) *WARNING*
DO NOT overwrite your current NFLPOOL.INI file unless
you really want to reset all of your data!
c) Copy any new NFL19??.INI to your existing directory
d) Enjoy!
================================================================
[C] Tips
================================================================
1) Shortcuts to NFL Team Statistics
-----------------------------------
You can display the Team Statistics dialog by a number of
methods. The obvious one being through the View menu.
You can also get this dialog by:
- Double-clicking a helmet icon on main form.
- Double-clicking a team name while viewing the NFL Tables.
- Double-clicking a team name while viewing the League Stats.
2) Displaying divisional Head To Head
-------------------------------------
A basic divisional Head to Head dialog can be displayed,
showing a W-L-T summary for each team vs. all others.
You can get this dialog whilst viewing the NFL Tables by:
- Double-clicking a Division Title Line.
3) Overriding the INI Path
--------------------------
Normally the NFLPOOL.INI file is located in the same directory
as the NFLPOOL.EXE file.
Network users may want to place the EXE file in a read-only
resource but have the INI file in a read-write one.
To do this you should copy the INI file to your new location.
In the ORIGINAL INI file (still in same directory as EXE) add
the following line to the [General] section:
INIPath=NewDirectoryName
eg INIPath=P:\NFLFILES
4) At the end of the season
---------------------------
To save the information from this year to be viewed as a
history file next year make a copy of the NFLPOOL.INI as
NFLnnnn.INI where nnnn is the year.
eg at the end of the 95/96 season
copy NFLPOOL.INI to NFL1995.INI
Then you can setup the new schedule for 1996 through the
Edit...Schedule dialog. This will then be saved in the main
NFLPOOL.INI file.
