- LOTTO CHALLENGER v3.7 is a fully functional Shareware lotto
- analysis program. A Quick Picks option automatically picks the
- best numbers to play based on a statistical analysis of
- previously drawn numbers. Twenty wheeling systems are included
- that generate bet tickets from the numbers played. A Winner's
- Circle option determines which tickets have winning matches. A
- History option allows you to test different playing strategies
- on previous drawings.
-
- Version 3.7 is compatible with all lotteries that pick 5 or 6
- numbers, including the new multi-state Powerball game. A data
- file for the Florida lottery is included so that you can easily
- evaluate the program. When you register for LOTTO CHALLENGER,
- you will receive an up-to-date data file for whatever lottery
- you play, at no extra charge.
-
- How to Get Started Quickly:
- ___________________________
-
- All of the files in this release are uncompressed. The files
- will easily fit on one 360K 5 1/4" diskette. If you play
- several lotteries, or have a large data file, you may want to
- copy all the files to a high density diskette or a subdirectory
- on your hard drive.
-
- To start LOTTO CHALLENGER from diskette, insert the diskette in
- your drive and type A: or B: and press ENTER. Type LC and press
- ENTER.
-
- To start LOTTO CHALLENGER from your hard drive, you must first
- change into the directory. Assuming the program files are in a
- subdirectory called LOTTO, you would type CD \LOTTO and press
- ENTER. Type LC and press ENTER.
-
- NOTE: It is very important that you have the command FILES=20
- (20 or greater) in the CONFIG.SYS file in your root directory.
- The Number Systems options in LOTTO CHALLENGER will not work
- correctly without this command. If the command is not in the
- file, you can use any ascii text editor to insert the command.
- You will need to reboot your computer after inserting it.
- Consult your DOS manual for more information.
-
- If you are upgrading from a previous version of LOTTO
- CHALLENGER, or just want to see what changes have been recently
- made, be sure to read the file HISTORY.DOC for a complete list
- of recent enhancements.
-
- The file PRODUCTS.DOC contains detailed information on other
- lotto products that we sell. Registered users get a discount on
- all these products. An order form is included in the file.

- How to Print the User's Manual:

- directory and type COPY LC.DOC PRN.
-
- How to Obtain Technical Support:
- ________________________________
-
- All users can obtain Technical Support either by U.S. mail or
- CompuServe Email (72356,354). We will try our best to fully
- support unregistered users during their evaluation period, but
- we will give priority to registered users, if necessary.
- Registered users become eligible to receive free, unlimited
- Technical Support by telephone.
-
- What SHAREWARE is:
- __________________
-
- Shareware describes a method of distributing copyrighted
- software in which a user is allowed to fully evaluate the
- software before purchasing it. After an evaluation period, the
- user is required to register the product if s/he decides to keep
- using it.
-
- Shareware distribution addresses all of the legitimate
- complaints that users have with commercial software
- distribution.
-
- o Shareware allows a user to fully evaluate a product, free of
- charge, in his or her home, *before* deciding to buy it.
-
- o Shareware programs can circulate freely on Bulletin Boards,
- through Shareware disk distributors, or through user groups.
-
- o Because Shareware distribution reduces the need to
- advertise, Shareware is less expensive than commercial
- software.
-
- o Shareware authors can often be more responsive to users'
- requests for help or bug fixes than large software
- companies.
-
- o Shareware software, needless to say, is never copy-protected.
-
-
- In short, Shareware is a user's dream come true. Users show
- their appreciation to developers for this extremely flexible
- distribution scheme by registering their software. Without user
- registrations Shareware software would gradually disappear. It
- is not sufficient to simply let the "other guy" pay the
- registration. You are the other guy's "other guy".
-
-
-
-
-
- What SHAREWARE is not:
- ______________________
-
- Shareware is not "free" software. Shareware is not Public
- Domain software. The fee that you may have paid to receive a
- Shareware program does not mean that the software has been paid
- for. This money was paid to a Shareware disk vendor, User
- Group, Bulletin Board Service or retailer to cover their cost of
- getting the program to you. Shareware software is paid for by
- registering your copy with the author.
-
- The Future of LOTTO CHALLENGER:
- ______________________________
-
- LOTTO CHALLENGER is a dynamic program. It has changed
- considerably since its conception. I have called myself a
- perfectionist, and so long as LOTTO CHALLENGER is imperfect, I
- will persevere. I have already spent thousands of hours
- developing this program. The development of LOTTO CHALLENGER
- has been an extremely rewarding project; LOTTO CHALLENGER has
- grown with me as my own programming skills have grown.
-
- By distributing LOTTO CHALLENGER as Shareware I am expressing my
- confidence in the public to "Do the Right Thing". I would like
- you to evaluate LOTTO CHALLENGER for as long as 30 days before
- deciding whether you want to keep it. If you do decide to keep
- it, you must register your copy. Full details on registration
- can be found in the REGISTER.DOC file. I would be anxious to
- hear your comments about LOTTO CHALLENGER. Please feel free to
- contact me with your suggestions for new features, etc.
