- **** GolfTour ******************************* Quick Start ****
-
-
-
- QUICK START
- ~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- 1.. Copy GOLFTOUR.COM and GOLFTOUR.HLP to a separate directory
- on your hard drive. The directory can be named C:\GOLFTOUR
- as an example, however you may name it anything you like.
-
- *** NOTE ***
-
- You MUST have BOTH files (GOLFTOUR.COM and GOLFTOUR.HLP) in
- the SAME directory.
-
- The GOLFTOUR.HLP file replaces the Instruction Manual for
- GolfTour and is available while running GolfTour by pressing
- the <F1> Key when any "PullDown" box item is hi-lighted.
- To get instant help with any menu option just hi-light that
- option and press <F1>.
-
- 2.. Change to this directory and type GOLFTOUR and press <Enter>
-
- 3.. The TopMenu bar will show the following options:
-
- "MISC ADD REVIEW EDIT UTILS PRINT QUIT"
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- 4.. If you've never used GolfTour before you will need to create
- at least 1 Tournament Record and 1 Team or Golfer Record before
- you can add a Game Record. These items can be found by selecting
- the "ADD" option at the TopMenu bar.
-
- 5.. The registered, commercial version of GolfTour is shipped with
- a customized installation program that will install GolfTour to
- the directory of your choice on your hard drive.
-
- 6.. The shareware version does not allow the user to access all
- the options that are available in the registered version.
-
- 7.. To get a feel for running GolfTour and become familiar with
- how to get the most out of it, create 1 or more "dummy" Tournament,
- Team and Golfer records and then add several Game records. When
- you become familiar with how it works, use the "Remove" options
- found under the UTILS heading on the TopMenu bar to remove the
- "practice" records and start over with a clean slate.
-
- 8.. See Page -6- for examples of the Flight Summary and Flight
- Reports. A total of eleven (11) Flights are possible. This
- includes the Championship Flight and Flights A (1st) through J (10th)

-
- WHAT GolfTour DOES
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- GolfTour is a database program that will manage an unlimited
- number of Golf Tournaments, Golfer and Team Records. Flight or
- Brackets are based on the scores turned in by Teams or Golfers
- on the first day of tournament play.
-
- When registered, the capacities of GolfTour are limited only by
- the amount of available memory and disk space. Due to the large
- amount of data that can be stored by GolfTour, it is suggested
- that GolfTour NOT be run from a floppy diskette as the available
- space on a floppy diskette can be filled quickly to capacity.
-
- Approximately 380K of available conventional memory is required
- for GolfTour to load and run at peak performance.
-
- GolfTour will allow a Tournament to be classified as either a
- Team event (Teams from 2 - 6 Golfers competing against other Teams)
- or an individual event (Individual Golfers competing against each
- other).
-
- If a Tournament is classified as a Team event, only Teams can record
- scores. If a Tournament is classified as an Individual event, only
- individual Golfers can record scores.
-
- It is important to note that when entering records for a new
- tournament, ALL Golfer or Team Records should be entered BEFORE
- any Game Records are entered. Once all Golfer or Team Records
- are entered, Game Records can be entered. When entering Game
- records into the database for a tournament covering more than
- one day, ALL Game Records for the first day of play MUST be
- entered BEFORE any Game Records are entered for subsequent days.
-
- If you need to change the score of a Game previously recorded,
- use the "Edit Game" option found under the EDIT heading on the
- TopMenu bar.
-
- GolfTour will place the Teams/Golfers into Flights or Brackets
- after ALL the scores are recorded for the FIRST day of play.
- Flight/Bracket minimums and maximums are set by using the
- "Edit Tournament" options found under the EDIT heading on the
- TopMenu bar. After looking at all the scores for the first day
- of play, you must determine how many flight you want then set
- the minimum (low) and maximum (high) scores for each Flight.
- After this is done, select the "Flight Tournament" option
- found under the PRINT heading on the TopMenu bar. A PRINTER
- IS REQUIRED before GolfTour will search the database for each
- game recorded for the selected tournament and place them into
- the proper Flights/Brackets.

-
- REQUIREMENTS
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~
- GolfTour requires a computer rated as being 100% IBM compatible.
- Most clones on today's market will meet this requirement. GolfTour
- requires a computer to have at least 512k of conventional memory.
- Most computers available on the current market will have 640k as a
- minimum with many offering 1 MegaByte or more. If you do encounter
- memory problems running GolfTour, disable any TSR (Terminate-Stay-
- Resident) programs such as pop-up clocks, note pads, menus, etc.
- A minimum of 350k of free memory is an ideal operating environment
- for GolfTour. GolfTour requires about 200K of free memory to load.
-
- Your CONFIG.SYS file should contain the following statements:
-
- FILES=20 (or more)
- DEVICE=C:\DOS\ANSI.SYS (or directory where ANSI.SYS is located)
-
- GolfTour has been tested on many different type and brands of
- computers. These machines varied from 8086 XT machines up to
- 80486 machines running at 90 Mhz and the Pentium machines. All
- of the test machines were rated as being 100% IBM compatible.
-
- OTHER
- ~~~~~
- The shareware version of GolfTour is for evaluation purposes!
- It does not make available all of the options that can be used
- by those who register and obtain the registered "Key" which
- will unlock all the registered features of GolfTour. Once this
- registered Key file is purchased, it will continue to work
- will ALL FUTURE VERSIONS of GolfTour. You will never have to
- pay any "upgrade" fee. Once registered, always registered!
-
- See the text file START-UP.TXT for instructions on how to get
- GolfTour up and running in less than 2 minutes. There are no
- complicated "setup" or configuration procedures when using
- GolfTour. Basically all that is required is to place the two
- files GOLFTOUR.COM and GOLFTOUR.HLP into an empty directory on
- your hard drive, change to that directory and type GOLFTOUR
- followed by pressing the <Enter> Key. GolfTour will then load
- and any additional files needed by GolfTour are created only
- as they are needed. GolfTour will create two files the first
- time it is loaded. These two files are GOLFTOUR.ID and
- GOLFTOUR.CFG These two files are used by GolfTour constantly
- and should NEVER BE DELETED, ALTERED, or REMOVED from the
- GolfTour directory. Removing or altering these two files can
- cause GolfTour to produce unpredictable results.
-
- GolfTour runs with no problems at all under Windows v3.1 and
- Windows'95.

- to Key files require the full purchase price of a new copy of
- GolfTour.

- When registering GolfTour, if it's going to be used by a club or
- group, it should be registered in the name of the club or group
