- ************ System Requirements **************
-
- The Golf Scorekeeper will run on any IBM PC or compatible. You
- will need at least 256K of RAM and DOS 2.0 or higher. The system
- will run off of a floppy but will be somewhat slower. The same is
- true for some CGA monitors when you have to use snow control.
- 256K of RAM is a minimum, it is best if you have more. This is
- because The Golf Scorekeeper keeps all player and course data in
- memory and with only 256K you are limited to a combination of
- roughly 250 courses and players. If you use a mouse just load in
- the generic driver that comes with your particular mouse. Also,
- you need to define files=20, buffers=20 in your config.sys file
- so The Golf Scorekeeper does not crash when it tries to open more
- than one file at a time.
-
- The only known problem with hardware is the IBM 8514 monitor. If
- you run the program on this monitor you might not get anything on
- the screen. I am however, looking into this problem and hope to
- have a solution soon.
