SwimBase
General Description
___________________
SwimBase is designed to simplify and automate the records and
reports required for a Swim Team. SwimBase will keep the swimmer
rosters and results for each meet. Roster reports, mailing labels,
telephone lists, events results, swim team ladder and time in water
are some of the reports that can be generated by SwimBase. The data
entered can be reviewed, modified or deleted at any time. All reports
can be directed to the computer screen for review, printed, sent to a
disk file for storage, transfer or modification with a word processing
program.
SwimBase is an easy to use, menu driven program. Most menus and
prompts are self-explanatory with little or no use of the manual
required. All data is entered into forms with context sensitive help
available at any time for each field. These help prompts will give an
explanation of the required data and, where appropriate, the allowable
input range. Any out of range data input will result in error
requestors explaining the problem and the opportunity to correct the
offending field.
SwimBase is based on the United States Swimming (USS) rules for a
dual meet. These rules were used for event types, names, swimmer ages,
groups and points. The major differences with the way SwimBase handles
results and the USS rules involves the effects of keeping results for
only a single team. SwimBase is not designed to keep the results of
both teams in a meet. The differences show up in the event entry and
point calculation. You need to enter the swimmers' finishing place and
if the swimmer finished in a tie or was disqualified. The reports as
generated by SwimBase are not specified by these rules but are
compilations of meet, event and season results. SwimBase is not
connected with the USS in any fashion.
The design of SwimBase will allow the results of multiple seasons
to be stored and the team roster from previous years to be moved
forward each year with automatic updates to the swimmers' age and
group. The data from previous years can be reviewed at any time for
comparison to the current years results.
The standardized reports from SwimBase will allow simplified
comparisons of the results between different teams within the same
division or league or even teams in different leagues.
The reports from SwimBase can be set to include just a single
meet, all meets of a particular type or all meets. The results can be
sorted by sex, age or name. The results for swimmers can be generated
for individual swimmers, for all swimmers or selected by sex.
- 4 -
Results are kept of all event entries so not only are the results
of swimmers that finish in the top, point scoring, spots available but
all other finishes along with all disqualifications, no shows,
exhibitions and substitutes. It is possible at any time to summarize
all the results of all the events any swimmer was scheduled for at any
time.
Manual Organization
___________________
This manual is organized in the order that the menus, screens and
requestors are most likely to be displayed by the first time user.
Each Menu, Form or Requestor is displayed and then followed with a
brief explanation of each of the elements within it. If you are trying
to locate a particular menu or requestor then use the index with the
menu or requestor heading as input.
System Requirements
___________________
The minimum hardware and system requirements for
SwimBase are:
IBM PC/XT/AT or compatible with at least 512K RAM Memory.
Any monitor capable of a 80 column text display.
2 - 360K disk drives or 1 - 720K disk drive or any floppy
drive with a hard disk drive.
MS/PC DOS 3.0 or greater.
80 or greater column text printer (optional for reports)
Program Limitations
___________________
The program limitations for SwimBase are:
Maximum Seasons on a disk: 50
Maximum Meets in a season: 50
Maximum Swimmers in a Season: 511
Maximum Entries in an Event: 99
Longest time for an event: 59:59:99 (mins:secs:huns)
Maximum Events in a meet: 256
Program Setup
_____________
One program file and 3 data files are necessary to use this
program. SWIM.EXE is the program file and EVENT.DTA, EVENT.ORD and
DEFAULT.DTA are the data files. SWIM.EXE is the main program.
- 5 -
The first time SWIM.EXE is run the event data files, EVENT.DTA
and EVENT.ORD, and the setup preferences data file, DEFAULT.DTA, will
be created in the same directory as SWIM.EXE unless they already
exist. See the event setup data form for more information about the
event file. See the default data form for more information about your
preferences.
In order to setup the program follow the steps within the section
that corresponds to your hardware configuration. This setup assumes
that you are using the Registered Version Program Distribution disk.
Please refer to the section on upgrading SwimBase if you are
installing the Registered version to replace the Evaluation version.
Hard Disk System Installation
_____________________________
From the root directory 'C:\'
1. MKDIR C:\SWIMDATA
Substitute your drive letter for the C in the path name if
your hard drive isn't C. The subdirectory name SWIMDATA can be
anything you are comfortable with.
2. CD C:\SWIMDATA
Use the name of the directory created in step 1 above.
3. Put distribution disk in floppy drive A:
4. COPY A:\*.*
5. Start program by typing SWIM
If you update the PATH statement in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file to
include the directory created in step 1 then you will be able to start
and run SwimBase from any prompt by typing SWIM. If you do not then
you will need to change directory (CD) to the C:\SWIMDATA before
starting SwimBase.
If you prefer to keep your program files in one directory and
your data files in another you can do this by putting the SWIM.EXE and
data files in your program directory and creating a separate data
directory. This data directory can be any legitimate DOS directory
name. Once you start SwimBase you will need to use the Set or Change
Defaults option to set the data directory. Note that the 3 system data
files, EVENT.DTA, EVENT.ORD and DEFAULT.DTA should remain in the same
directory as SWIM.EXE.
Recommended Hard Disk Setup
___________________________
If disk space is not limited the program file, SWIM.EXE, along
with the 3 data files should be all in the same subdirectory. This
subdirectory should also be used as the data directory. The simplest
method would be to create a subdirectory C:\SWIMDATA and then copy all
the files into it.
- 6 -
Dual Floppy Disk System Installation
____________________________________
This setup assumes either 2 low density 5 1/4" 360K floppies or a
desire to use separate program and data floppies.
1. Obtain 2 blank, formatted floppies.
Label one as the SwimBase data files. Label the second as the
SwimBase program files.
2. Make a DISKCOPY of the program distribution disk and then use that
disk to run the program.
3. DISKCOPY A: A:
Follow the prompts, use the SwimBase program disk as the
destination
4. Put the original in a safe place.
5. Put the Program files disk in drive A: and the data files disk in
drive B:.
6. Start the program by typing A:\SWIM.
7. Answer N to 'Directory Open Failure' requestor.
8. Enter a path (directory) for the data disk, 'B:\SWIMDATA' is
recommended
9. Be sure the data disk is in drive B: and press return.
10. Press Y to create directory.
11. When program starts select 'Set or Change Defaults' and enter the
directory from step 8 as the data PATH default.
12. Each time you are ready to use the program place the program disk
in drive A: and the data disk in drive B: and then type A:\SWIM.
Single Floppy Disk System Installation
______________________________________
Use this setup for a single floppy system or if you wish to keep
both program and data files on the same disk. Note that to keep all
files on the same disk it must have a minimum capacity of 720K.
1. Obtain a blank floppy and make a copy of the original program disk.
2. DISKCOPY A: A:
3. Put the original in a safe place.
4. Put the copy in drive A: and start the program by entering A:\SWIM
5. Answer N to 'Directory Open Failure' requestor.
6. Enter a path (directory) for the data disk, 'A:\SWIMDATA' is
- 7 -
recommended
7. Press return in response to the 'Place Data disk in Drive'
requestor.
10. Press Y to create directory.
11. When program starts select 'Set or Change Defaults' and enter the
directory from step 6 as the data PATH default.
12. Each time you are ready to use the program place the disk in drive
A: enter A:\SWIM
Setup Technical Review
______________________
The SWIM.EXE file is the main program for SwimBase. This program
is loaded at startup and then is run from RAM memory until the program
is exited. As soon as SWIM.EXE loads it will search the same directory
that SWIM.EXE is in to find the system defaults which are contained in
the file DEFAULT.DTA. If DEFAULT.DTA is not found then it will be
created in that directory.
After this is loaded then the event data files, EVENT.DTA and
EVENT.ORD are loaded. These files must be located in the program
directory (the same directory SWIM.EXE is in). If EVENT.DTA is not
located then it will be created. You can use the 'Modify Event
Definitions' menu to define your events.
From this point on the SWIM.EXE file and DEFAULT.DTA file are not
required unless the default setup is changed. To change the defaults
be sure the disk that contained the defaults is in the same drive as
where it was loaded.
One additional note about viewing reports on the screen is
necessary. The report is built in the SWIMDATA directory and could use
up to 100,000 bytes for a large report. For this reason you should
avoid using a data disk that is nearly full.
It is possible after starting SwimBase to remove the program disk
and place the data disk in the same drive. After changing the disks
use the 'Change Data Disk or Path' option in the main menu to activate
the new data files. If you change disks you must use the 'Change Data
Disk' option or risk file corruption.
Menu Usage
__________
The basic use of all menus is the same. The up and down arrow
keys are used to move within the menu or by pressing the first letter
of a menu item it can be jumped to. The selection is picked by
pressing the ENTER key. On the menus that can span more than one
screen full of data such as the swimmer requestor the Page Up and Page
Down keys move a page at a time rather than a item at a time. The ESC
key will return to the previous menu or selection or exit the program
from the opening menu. The ESC key is consistent throughout the
program to cancel the current selection.
There are 2 special keys that are active in any menu. ALT/A
(holding down the ALT key and pressing A) will open the 'About
- 8 -
SwimBase' window with memory usage statistics. ALT/D will shell out
(exit) to DOS. This DOS shell will allow any DOS commands or actions
to be taken. You can return to SwimBase at the point you left by
entering 'EXIT' at the DOS prompt.

DataBase Maintenance Menu
_________________________
This menu is used to determine if the data is to be archived
(saved from the active files to a backup copy) or restored (moved from
the backup copy to the active copy). The Archive data selection should
be used as a matter of routine. The Restore Data selection should only
be used in times of data base corruption or to share a data base among
different systems.
You can choose to archive the Swimmer, Meet or Event data to the
same destination or use separate floppy disks for each. As your data
grows you may need to use different disks for each. When you restore
the data the program will restore whatever data is present on the
- 14 -
floppy to the program disk. If you archived all 3 to the same disk
then all 3 will be restored. If you only did 1 then that is all that
will be restored.

Default Data Form
_________________
This form enters default data about your system, printer and
preferences. This data is entered once and then will remain in effect
unless changed.
1. AutoDetect Monitor
- 15 -
If this is set to Y then the program will automatically
detect the presence of a color monitor and use color. In some
cases it is possible that the monitor type indicated by the
system does not match what is actually installed, this is a
common problem with portable PCs. If this occurs then set this to
N and set the proper monitor type in the next field. You can also
force a color monitor to display in black and white by setting
this field to N and the next field to N.
2. Color Monitor
If you are using a color monitor then select Y for this
field otherwise set it to N. This field will not appear if
AutoDetect Monitor is set to Y.
3. Quick Start
The program will display an opening banner for a few seconds
if this is set to N. To go directly to the opening menus set it
to Y.
4. SKIP DB Audit
The program will run a check on the integrity of the
database structures each time a season is selected if this is set
to N. This step can be skipped by setting this to Y. The few
seconds lost while the data base check (audit) is run is a small
price to pay for insurance that your data is not corrupted.
5. Startup Password
If you wish to require a password to access any of the data
then enter that password here. The password can be any string of
characters up to 10 in length. To remove a password once one is
entered use 'NOPASSWORD' (uppercase) as the password. Note that
you will need to know the old password to remove it.
6. Foreground
You can use this selection to select any one of ten
different color combinations for the menus, screens and messages
by entering a number between 0 and 9. The changes are effective
as soon as the default data form is accepted.
7. Delete Password
If you wish to require a password to delete data but not one
for access then set a password here. The same requirements for
removing this password apply.
8. Background
This selection acts the same as for Foreground selection
except it controls the window background and shading. These
colors are a subset of the Foreground colors so changing
Foreground will effect the Background.
9. Print Extended Graphics
- 16 -
Set this to Y if your printer supports the Extended or IBM
line drawing character set. The best looking reports can be
obtained with this set to Y. If the reports generated with this
set to Y have garbage in the borders and through them then you
will need to set this to N or use the Printer Setup the enter the
proper printer codes to print Extended or IBM characters.
10. View Color
This selection acts the same as Foreground and Background
but it controls the colors for any reports that are viewed on
screen.
11. Printer Port
When you reach this selection a secondary selection
requestor will open that will allow you to select which printer
port your printer is attached to. The possible selections are:
PRN for the DOS default printer port, LPT1, LPT2 and LPT3 for the
possible parallel ports and COM1 through COM4 for the possible
serial ports. If you select one of the COM ports you will need to
define the port parameters (Baud, bits etc.) before starting
SwimBase. See the DOS MODE command for details.
12. Carriage returns
SwimBase sends a linefeed (new line or LF or 0A) at the end
of each line when it generates any printed reports. Most printers
will convert this linefeed to a linefeed/carriage return pair. If
your reports run off the right edge of the paper it is probably
because your printer does not follow this convention. Changing
this field to Y will send both a linefeed and a carriage return
to the printer.
On a HP Laserjet the appearance of this problem is the first
line of the report will print and then the rest of the page will
be blank. Changing this field to Y will cure this problem.
Alternatively, Using '1b 26 6b 32 47' as the printer setup
for a HP Laserjet will cause the printer to follow the standard
LF to LF/CR conversion.
13. Printer Setup
This is the string that will be sent to the printer before
any thing is printed. The string needs to be entered as
hexadecimal characters with each character separated by a space.
An example would be '1b 7 1'. Most printer manuals use
hexadecimal in the reference section.
14. PATH =
If the data files are going to be kept in a directory
different from the directory with the program file 'SWIM.EXE'
then set the directory PATH here and the program will
automatically use those files. The path can be entered as either
a full or relative path name. Some examples of legitimate full
pathnames would be:
- 17 -
C:\SWIMDATA
C:\DATA\SWIMDATA
Examples of relative pathnames:
SWIMDATA
MYDATA
Please note that changes entered here are not immediately
active. To start using the new PATH you must either select
'Change Data Disk or Path' for the Opening Menu or Exit and
restart SwimBase.
15. Use 7 Age Groups
SwimBase can be set to use either 5 age groups or 7 age
groups. If this field is set to N then the available age groups
are: 8 & U, 9 - 10, 11 - 12, 13 - 14 and 15 - 18. If set to Y
then the groups are: 6 & U, 8 & U, 9 - 10, 11 - 12, 13 - 14, 15 -
16 and 17 - 18. A 'SENIOR' group is also available.
16. Yard Factor and Meter Factor
If your league swims some meets in pools measured in meters
and others in pools measured in yards and you want to normalize
the reports to show all times as meters or yards then you can
enter the Yard to Meter and Meter to Yard multiplier factors
here. A suggested yard to meter factor would be 1.11 and a meter
to yard factor would be 0.901. If there is any entry in these
fields then any reports will allow an option of reporting in
Yards, Meters or As Entered.

Understanding Events
____________________
The initial setup of your event definitions can have a large
impact on how well SwimBase will fulfill your requirements so before
starting to define your events you should take some time to understand
how events are handled by SwimBase.
As an example let's say that there are 4 events used in your
league. These are:
Event Event
Number Description
5 Boys 8 and Under 50M Freestyle
5a Boys 6 and Under 50M Freestyle
6 Girls 8 and Under 50M Freestyle
6a Girls 6 and Under 50M Freestyle
Now what we need to do is number these events starting at 1 so
now what we have is:
Event Event
Number Description
1 5 Boys 8 and Under 50M Freestyle
2 5a Boys 6 and Under 50M Freestyle
3 6 Girls 8 and Under 50M Freestyle
4 6a Girls 6 and Under 50M Freestyle
The numbers 1 through 4 can be thought of as the SwimBase
internal event numbers. You can skip numbers if you wish and add more
events later but once data is entered for a meet the internal number
for that event can't be changed.
When you are entering event results you will enter the Event
Number (IE: 5 or 6a) and SwimBase will store the data under the
internal event number.
The order that the events will appear in reports or if the event
will appear in the report at all is determined by the internal event
numbers.
The steps that we would follow to setup the events for this
example are:
1. Select 'Modify Event Definitions' from the 'Opening Menu'.
2. Select 'Modify Globals' from the 'Modify Events' menu.
3. Enter '1' as the 'Lowest Event' and '4' as the 'Highest Event'. The
value for 'Lanes Scoring Points' will come from your league rules. It
is the number of places the a awarded points. If the first 4 finishers
are awarded points then enter 4 for this field.
- 19 -
4. Now select 'Modify Events' from the 'Modify Events' menu and enter
the internal number of the first event we are defining ('1') into the
'Enter Event to Update' requestor.
5. Enter the Event Number for this event ('5') into the 'Event
Definition #001 Details' form and complete the rest of the form using
the 'Event Input Form' for details of each of the fields in the form.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for each of the remaining events.
Please refer to this simple 4 event example to better understand
the Event Setup Description that follows.
Event Setup Description
_______________________
When 'Change Event Definitions' is selected two data files,
EVENT.DTA and EVENT.ORD, will be created or modified if they exist.
The information contained in these files are the names, points per
place, maximum points for the event, age group, event type, point
basis, team or individual, output order and the start and end event
numbers. There can be up to 256 events defined (64 in the MCSL version
of SwimBase). This file is used by the SWIM main program and needs to
be in the SWIM program directory.

Modify Globals Form
___________________
- 22 -
This form is used to set the lowest and highest event number and
the number of Finishers Scoring. The range for the event numbers must
be between 0 and 255 with the lowest event being at least 1 less than
the highest. The range for Finishers Scoring is 3 to 6.
1. Lowest Event
This is the internal event number of the lowest event used.
This number can range from 0 to 254 and must be at least 1 less
than the Highest Event number. From the setup example this would
be a '1'.
2. Highest Event
This is the internal event number of the highest event used.
This number can range from 1 to 255 and must be at least 1 more
than the lowest event number. From the setup example this would
be a '4'.
3. Finishers Scoring Points
This is the number of finishers that can be awarded points
in each event. This number can range from 3 to 6. This number
should be the highest applicable to any event. If the individual
events allow 5 scorers and the relays only 3 then 5 should be
entered here. During the relay event setup you will be able to
set the extra places to 0 points to avoid scoring errors.

for this event and the number that will appear on any reports. It
can be up to 4 characters, either numbers or letters. Some valid
numbers would be 1, 2, 3a, 44b or a.
2. Description
This is a narrative description of this event. The
description can be up to 36 characters in length. This the way
this event's description will appear in all reports.
3. Active
The field selects if this event is active. If this is set to
N then this event will be ignored for all reports. Any used event
definition should be set to Y.
4. Age Group
This is the age group that will compete in this event. The
age group selections are:
0 - 6 & U
1 - 8 & U
2 - 9 - 10
3 - 11 - 12
4 - 13 - 14

Event groups 5 and 6 are the relay events and when event
results are entered for these events a subform will open that
will allow the entry of the relay leg results (stroke and time)
for each of the 4 swimmers in the relay event. If you do not want
to keep track of the relay legs then set these events to type 9.
7. Time for Event (L or S)
This entry will select if the maximum time for the event is
9:59:99 or 59:59:99. Using 'S' will limit the input for this
event to 9:59:99. The major effect of this selection is during
data input the time can be input with 1 character for the minutes
and some reports will report only a single character for the
minutes value.
8. 1st place (2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th)
This is the number of points accumulated for each finishing
place.
9. Scoring basis

swimmer reports.
10. Maximum Team Points
This is the maximum points that the team can earn in this
event.
11. Record Time and AllStar Time
By entering values in these 2 fields you can be alerted to
any swimmer that meets or betters a event 'record' or 'allstar'
- 25 -
time. A alert requestor will appear during event results input if
either time is met and certain reports will have a '*A' or '*R'.
Either or both of the fields can be used and if the swimmer's
time meets both of them then 2 requestors appear and '*R*A" will
be in the report.

DataBase Audit
______________
This window will appear whenever a Season is selected. While this
window is present the system is checking the integrity of the
database. The Meets and Swimmer Databases are checked for range and
reasonableness. If no errors are found then the window will close
after a few seconds. If a Swimmer error is encountered you will be
given an opportunity to edit the swimmer record.
Generally, Meet errors are not correctable and Swimmer errors are
correctable. The best course of action in response to any error is to
restore the archived season data. (You did archive your data didn't
you?)

or modified through this menu.
1. Add Data for New Swimmer
This selection is used to add a new swimmer to the data
base. See the Swimmer Entry Form for an explanation of each
field. The program keeps track of each swimmer by assigning a
number to the swimmer upon entry into the program. This number is
selected by the program and will be used during other entry
processes to refer back to this swimmer. The program is limited
to 255 swimmers in any given season.
2. Change Data for Swimmer
This selection is used to change any data about a swimmer.
You will select which swimmer to change from the swimmer
selection requestor.
3. Delete Data for Swimmer

You will select which swimmer to delete from the swimmer
selection requestor. If any event results have been entered for
the swimmer then they will be deleted along with the swimmer.
4. Display Data for Swimmer
This selection allows you to review the swimmer data. One
swimmer at a time will be displayed in the data entry form. You
can not edit the data in this form.
5. Age Up Swimmer Data
- 33 -
This selection will recalculate the age and age group for
each swimmer. The date used as the basis for this recalculation
will be determined by what value was entered in the 'Age Basis'
field in the Season Data requestor. If 'M' was selected then you
will select a Meet and the swimmers' age will be set to the start
date of that meet. If 'C' was selected then the age will be set
relative to the current system date. If 'J' was selected then the
age will be relative to July 1st of the year set in the Season
Start date.

Event Entry Form
________________
This form is used to enter the results for a single event within
a single meet.
1. Swimmer Number
This is the number of the swimmer. Use the 'Swimmer List'
report from the Swimmer Roster Reports to get an alphabetical
listing of the swimmer's with their numbers. The swimmer's name
will be displayed after the number is entered for verification.
Data entry into this field can consist of either the
swimmer's number or up to the first 8 characters of the swimmer's
last name. If enough characters are entered to select only a
single swimmer then the swimmer's name will be selected. If more
than one matches then a selector is presented with each
possibility. If you enter nothing then a requestor with all
swimmers will be presented.
2. Event Number
This is the Event number as defined during event definition.
See 'Modify Event Definitions' in the Opening Menu for a listing
of the events. This will default to the last event entered. If
you do not wish to change it then just press enter. The event
name will be displayed after the event number is entered for
verification.
3. Time
This is the time for the event in minutes, seconds and
hundredths of seconds. If the time you are entering is less that
1 minute you must enter 0 or 00 for the minutes field depending
on the course time selection.
4. Status
There are 6 different statuses allowed. 'F' is used for a
successful finish with no qualifiers. 'S' is a successful finish
for a Substitute swimmer. 'E' is a successful finish by a swimmer
in the event for 'Exhibition'. 'T' is for a Tie. The points are
awarded for a tie based on the point total of 2 places divided in
half, as an example a 1st place tie would be the 1st (6) and 2nd
(4) place points divided by 2 (=5). Only 2 way ties are allowed.
'N' is for a No show and 'D' is for a disqualification.
- 38 -
5. Finishing Place
This is the swimmer's actual finishing place. Places 0
through 99 are tracked. A place of 0 is used for cases where
there was no finish (a disqualification for example) or when the
swimmer wasn't actually a competitor against the other swimmer
(swimming exhibition). Places 1 through 6 can be used to
calculate points. The number that actually calculate points is
set during the Event Definition Setup. The remaining places are
kept for informational purposes only. These true place numbers (0
- 99) will appear on certain reports. The point calculations
would be the same if 0 was used for all cases that the swimmer
finished out of the points.

Best Time Report Menu
_____________________
This report menu is used to calculate, individually set or report
the best time that a swimmer has obtained in any event. It differs
from the other report menus in several ways.
These differences are:
The data to be reported can be entered or changed in this menu.
Data from past seasons can be included. If you use 'Import Season
DataBase' to bring the swimmers' data forward into this season
then the Best Times for these swimmers will be retained.
- 41 -
In all other reports the report data is updated as new event
results are entered. That is not the case here. After entering
event results the 'Calculate Best Times' selection will have to
be used to update the best time data.
The first four entried in this menu will be cover here, the last
2 are in the reports section.
1. Calculate Best Times
This selection will compute what a swimmer's best time was
for each event they have competed in and what date it was swam
and also what the most recent time was and the date it occurred.
When selected you will have the choice of selecting all meets, a
single meet or a single meet type.
Once the data is calculated it is stored on disk and will be
available for later review. It is only necessary to use this
selection the first time the best time data is generated or when
new data is entered. If data is entered for a single meet then
only that meet needs to be selected when 'Calculate Best Times'
is used.
2. Clear Best Times, All
This selection will delete the best times data for all
swimmers on the team. The best time data for past seasons and
this season will be removed. This WILL NOT delete any event
results or meet data. If you are only keeping the data from a
single season then clearing the data and then recalculating for
all meets will restore the data. If you were keeping data from
past seasons then that data will be lost.
The primary use of this selection is to recreate the best
time data if there have been changes made in previously entered
event results. Remember, updating the event results does not
automatically update the best times data.
3. Clear Best Times, Swimmer
This selection has the same impact on your data as the
previous selection with the exception that it only will delete
the data for the swimmer that you will select from the swimmer
select requestor.
4. Set Best Time, Swimmer
This selection will allow you the set the best and last time
and date for a single swimmer. Its major use will be to input
best times that were swum in previous seasons or in meets that
are not being kept in this data base. See the 'Set Best Times
Requestor' for field decsriptions.

Reports
_______
The following pages contain examples of some of the reports
available. To save space these are all partial reports. The actual
report length will vary depending on the number of swimmers, meets and
events entered.
Each time a report is requested you will be prompted for the
output device to send the report to. Some notes for each device:
Screen
______
When a report is to be displayed on the screen a file viewer is
actually called by the program to display the report. Once the report
appears on the screen you can move through the report by using the
cursor control keys or jumping to a line or by searching for data. The
top line always contains a list of the keys that can be used to move
around and status of what line is displayed at the top of the screen
and the total lines in the file. If the beginning of the line is '1 of
239' then this means that line 1 is at the top of the screen and the
file is 239 lines long. If the second field is ???? then the file is
over 400 lines long and the entire file has not been read yet.
The arrow keys, Page Down and Page Up , Home and End work as
their names imply. To search for data press 'S' and then enter the
data to be searched for. To repeat the last search press 'R'. To print
the current page press 'P'. When 'P' is pressed then you enter a
concurrent printing mode that will print each new page or line
displayed until 'P' is pressed again. To print a single page you would
press 'P' twice. Press ESC at any time to exit.
Printer
_______
The report will be sent to the printer port or device as selected
in the default setup. The port can be changed through the 'Set or
Change Defaults' selection in the opening menu. See that selection for
further details on the printer port and setup parameters.
The report will be formatted for a 80 column, 66 line page. This
is a 8 1/2 by 11 inch page with a standard size font. A formfeed will
be sent to the printer after each page.
There are 2 selections in the Default Setup that can effect the
printing. The first is the printer setup string and the second is the
selection of the extended character set. See the Default Setup
selections for more information about these 2 fields.
- 48 -
Disk File
_________
You will be prompted for a file name for the report. See the
Output Device Requestor for file naming conventions. No facilities are
provided within SwimBase to view or modify a report once it is sent to
a file. You can use FVIEW.EXE to view the report after exiting
SwimBase or by 'shelling' to DOS by entering ALT/A from any menu.
Scoring
_______
The following rules are used to calculate the point totals on the
reports.
The point totals for each place are defined when the events
were setup with the 'Event Definition Setup'.
The number of finishers that earn points in an event are
defined with the 'Event Definition Setup'.
The points can be defined as 'Individual', 'Team' or 'Both'
which determines how the points are accumulated for reports. Team
points will not appear on individual reports.
Ties are scored by splitting the point total for the 2 tied
places between the swimmers. This is reflected in both the
swimmer and team reports. Since the tie can be with a swimmer
from the competing team fractional points are possible. 3 way
ties are not supported.
The Meet Summary and Season Summary report scoring is limited
to a maximum of points for a given event as setup with 'Event
Definitions'. If more than the maximum points are scored, such as
a 1st, 2nd and 3rd place finish, then any points above the
maximum are discarded. The full points are reflected in the
individual swimmer reports.

Time in Water
_____________
The Time in Water report takes the times of the first 3 finishers
in each event and calculates the averages for each event, each meet
and for the entire set of selected meets. The meets to be summarized
in this report can be selected in three different fashions by using
the Select Meets requestor. The first selection will do all meets in
the season or the first ten meets if more that 10 meets are defined.
The second will select the first 5 type 'A' meets and the last will
allow you to select which meets to summarize but again with a limit of
10 meets.
NS in any field indicates that there was no result for a swimmer
in that event and place. If only 1 swimmer from this team had a time
then Swimmer's 2 and 3 will be NS. If there were 2 Swimmers then 3
will be NS. Swimmers 1, 2 and 3 aren't the swimmers that finished in
places 1, 2 and 3 but are the first 3 finishers from this team.

Swimmer Best Times Report
_________________________
This report is the best time and date and last time and date for
each swimmer on the team. The report will include every event for
every swimmer that has event results with 2 exceptions. It will not
include any events where the swimmer does not have a finishing time,
IE: a disqualification, and it will not include data for the relay
events if these events are setup as relays in the event setup.
When this report is selected you will have to option of several
different sort methods and which genders and groups to include in the
report.
This same report is avaliable for an individual swimmer also.
Custom Requirements and Enhancements
____________________________________
Words to Go would like to hear of any requirements that your team
or league has that are not supported by SwimBase. Depending on the
nature of the changes they may be added into the next release.
Requests for custom programming to tailor SwimBase to your
particular needs will also be evaluated.
Error Handling
______________
The three most likely sources of errors when using SwimBase are
insufficient free disk space, insufficient free ram space and disk
hardware errors. Depending on when and where the error occurs will
determine how the error will be handled by the program. In some cases
a warning will appear that will allow you to correct the error before
continuing. When more serious errors occur the program will forbid the
offending action or force the program to exit. Some examples with
suggested corrective action follows.
+-- Insufficient Free Disk Space --+
| |
- 59 -
| Disk Space Available LESS |
| than space required (143,000) |
| |
| |
| Press Return |
+----------------------------------+
Disk Free Space Warning
_______________________
This warning occurs if an attempt is made to create a new season
or meet on a disk with less than the required space. The space
required varies with the number of meets planned. The corrective
action is to erase some files off the disk or use a new disk. The
'ABOUT SWIMBASE' selection can be used to gain more information about
the disk free space.
Program Directory : C:\BC\SRC\SWIM\
Data Directory : C:\SWIMDATA
Data Disk Memory Free : 3,133,440 bytes
Ram Memory Free : 249,680 bytes
Stack Memory Free : 11,898 bytes
Ram Heap Check : HEAP OK DOS Version 5.00
About Swimbase Statistics
_________________________
This is a partial screen from the About SwimBase screen. The last
4 items are of interest when trying to correct error conditions. The
disk free required to create a season or view a large report on the
screen is around 150,000 bytes. Ram memory should remain above 100,000
bytes to view reports. Stack free should stay above 10,000 bytes and
the Heap check should always be HEAP OK. The disk space can be
corrected by erasing files off the disk. If the last 3 fail to meet
requirements then there is most likely a conflict with a memory
resident program that was loaded before SwimBase was started.
+------------- Database Audit found Errors ------------+
| |
| Record #3 contains 8 errors |
| ACTIVE,LNAME,FNAME,MINIT,AGE,SEX,PSRECNO,PSSRECNO, |
| Continue running Audit or EDIT Y/N/E [N] |
| |
| |
+------------------------------------------------------+
DataBase Audit Errors
_____________________
This requestor will appear if the database audit finds a problem
with the database. It is bad news, the worst, oh horror of horrors,
but seriously folks here's what we do. This could have been caused by
a disk drive error or a bad spot on your disk or a wild write caused
by a power surge. You have three possible ways to proceed. Select N
and the audit will stop here. Select Y and the audit will continue to
the next error or until complete. Select E and you can edit and update
the offending record.
- 60 -
The best course of action would be to restore a previously
archived season data file. If one error is found it is possible that
others are there and the accuracy of the data could be compromised.
+------------- DISK ACCESS FAILURE ------------+
| |
| Error: drive not ready on Drive A: |
| Insert Proper Disk |
| Select: <A>bort, <R>etry or <I>gnore [R] |
| |
| |
+----------------------------------------------+
Disk Access Failure
___________________
This requestor will appear if there is a problem with the disk
drives or disks themselves. The first line will indicate what the
error was and which drive was involved. The error shown is caused by
changing the data path to the A: drive when no disk is in the drive.
The proper course of action is to either correct the error and select
R or select I and then pick another drive or path. Selection A will
almost certainly cause the program to crash.
Can't View Reports
__________________
The most likely cause of this failure is insufficient free space
on the data disk. Be sure that the data directory has at least 100,000
bytes of free disk space. This can be checked in the About SwimBase
screen.

ASP Ombudsman
_____________
This program is produced by a member of the Association of
Shareware Professionals (ASP). ASP wants to make sure that the
shareware principle works for you. If you are unable to resolve a
shareware-related problem with an ASP member by contacting the member
directly, ASP may be able to help. The ASP Ombudsman can help you
resolve a dispute or problem with an ASP member, but does not provide
technical support for members' products. Please write to the ASP
Ombudsman at 545 Grover Road, Muskegon, MI 49442 or send a CompuServe
message via CompuServe Mail to ASP Ombudsman 70007,3536.
Definition of Shareware
_______________________
This program is distributed as Shareware. Shareware distribution
gives users a chance to try software before buying it. If you try a
Shareware program and continue using it, you are expected to register.
Individual programs differ on details -- some request registration
while others require it, some specify a maximum trial period. With
registration, you get anything from the simple right to continue using
the software to an updated program with printed manual.
Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and commercial software,
and the copyright holder retains all rights, with a few specific
exceptions as stated below. Shareware authors are accomplished
programmers, just like commercial authors, and the programs are of
comparable quality. (In both cases, there are good programs and bad
ones!) The main difference is in the method of distribution. The
author specifically grants the right to copy and distribute the
software, either to all and sundry or to a specific group. For
example, some authors require written permission before a commercial
disk vendor may copy their Shareware.
Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. You
should find software that suits your needs and pocketbook, whether
it's commercial or Shareware. The Shareware system makes fitting your
needs easier, because you can try before you buy. And because the
overhead is low, prices are low also. Shareware has the ultimate
money-back guarantee -- if you don't use the product, you don't pay
- 63 -
for it.
Disclaimer - Agreement
_______________________
Users of SwimBase must accept this disclaimer of warranty:
"SwimBase is supplied as is. The author disclaims all warranties,
expressed or implied, including, without limitation, the warranties of
merchantability and of fitness for any purpose. The author assumes no
liability for damages, direct or consequential, which may result from
the use of SwimBase."
SwimBase is a "shareware program" and is provided at no charge to
the user for evaluation. Feel free to share it with your friends, but
please do not give it away altered or as part of another system. The
essence of "user-supported" software is to provide personal computer
users with quality software without high prices, and yet to provide
incentive for programmers to continue to develop new products.
If you find this program useful and find that you are using
SwimBase and continue to use SwimBase after a reasonable trial period,
you must make a registration payment of $49.00 to Donald L. Wahl. The
$49.00 registration fee will license one copy for use on any one
computer at any one time.
You must treat this software just like a book. An example is
that this software may be used by any number of people and may be
freely moved from one computer location to another, so long as there
is no possibility of it being used at one location while it's being
used at another. Just as a book cannot be read by two different
persons at the same time.
Commercial users of SwimBase must register and pay for their
copies of SwimBase within 60 days of first use or their license is
withdrawn. Site-License arrangements may be made by contacting Donald
L. Wahl.
Anyone distributing SwimBase for any kind of remuneration must
first contact Words to Go at the address below for authorization. This
authorization will be automatically granted to distributors recognized
by the (ASP) as adhering to its guidelines for shareware distributors,
and such distributors may begin offering SwimBase immediately (However
Words to Go must still be advised so that the distributor can be kept
up-to-date with the latest version of SwimBase.). You are encouraged
to pass a copy of SwimBase along to your friends for evaluation.
Please encourage them to register their copy if they find that they
can use it. All registered users will receive a copy of the latest
version of the SwimBase system.
