- BowlStat V1.6 Modifications
- ===========================
-
-
- o Size reduction. BowlStat is now less than 290K in size even though more
- features have been added. This allows more TSR's to be loaded into
- memory and faster program loading.
-
- o BowlStat now supports a Ladies and Men's "CLUB". The club can be based
- on either HIGH SERIES or HIGH SINGLE. The minimum score for
- each club (Ladies and Men's) is user defineable.
-
- o Team database has two new fields:
-
- 1) High Team Single
- 2) High Team Total
-
- o The Defaults Editor has been split into functional groups, with two new
- groups added. The groups are:

- will now be displayed in the lower left hand corner of the Help popup
- window.

- score be entered for all three strings while in Captain Sheet input
- mode. The Yearly Statistics program has been modified to handle the
- blank scores.

- average and adding or subtracting from it, as found in some leagues.
-
- o The Yearly Statistics program was modified NOT to clear the screen
- between stat sheets when the screen has been selected as the output
- device. At end of output, a completed message will be displayed and

- o BowlStat will display the number of bowler and team records when
- loading.

- the Last names are identical. Also, the databases will only be

- database) or Team Name (team database).

-
- o Plus the removal of serveral 'bugs' that were identified by several
- users.
