-
- LAST SEASON
- will load the fixtures and results
- from the last complete season.
- On your disk, this file is recorded
- as fixt_00.dat
-
- Once LAST SEASON is in memory, the
- current season is put on hold. Only
- friendly matches may now be played.
- Many functions will be disabled:
- save, new, kick-off, top scorers, etc
- are no longer available.
- The cursor will also change.
- We are now in REVIEW MODE. \
-
- The whole idea of loading an old season
- whether from the LAST SEASON or from
- the LOAD SEASON boxes is to quickly
- view past results, maybe to check how
- you did against your next opponents.
-
- The obvious path to follow, in this
- mode, in to click on TABLES, then
- click on SELECT ANY WEEK. Full records
- will now be at your fingertips.
-
- Another useful feature is to load any
- logo in, click on it, and select
- FIXTURE LIST. You will be presented
- with the full history of that
- particular team during the season
- under review. \
-
- Once in 'REVIEW MODE', the LAST SEASON
- box will now say RESUME.
- You have to click on RESUME if you
- want to exit REVIEW MODE and carry on
- with the default mode.
-
- The next box in this FILE MENU is
- SAVE. If you want to save your records
- click on this one at any time during
- the championship, except at the very
- end of the very last day, when it
- will instead appear as NEW SEASON.
- You'll have to click on NEW SEASON
- to save the ENTIRE championship for
- posterity. It will always be saved
- as FIXT_00.DAT. All fixtures will
- then be reset and a new season may
- commence with bank balances, skill
- levels and squads left unchanged. \
-
- SAVE does a complete save of all
- squad and club records, replay list
- and results so far.
- But the week pointer will remain as
- it is.
-
- Whenever you click on SAVE, do make
- sure that your disk is NOT protected
-
- The next entry is NEW.
- This is an uncompromising feature.
- Everything gets reset to the original
- standard. You are in effect overwriting
- your records with the default files
- always held on disk.
- Needless to say full confirmation will
- be asked for and you will have to answer
- with the keyboard only. \
-
- EDITOR , the next entry, gives you
- access to all 920 players.
- The names can be changed but skills
- and valuations require a password.
-
- LOAD SEASON is similar to LAST SEASON
- except that here you may choose which
- particular season you want to load:
- 0 is the one just gone. You may
- retrieve up to 21 seasons.
- Once this feature is active, you are
- in REVIEW MODE again, as confirmed by
- the rectangular cursor. A new box will
- now appear just underneath: SAVE AS. \
-
- The season you have just loaded may be
- re-saved under any name from 1 to 20.
- Make sure you do not overwrite a
- season that you were particularly
- proud of.
-
- PROMOTIONS is only active during the
- early part of the season. It will
- re-arrange the two division as per
- entries shown under HONOURS.
- As all master files will be changed
- use with care.
-
- This covers all the options under
- the FILE menu. ]
