 FIRST ABOUT FANTASY SPORTS IN GENERAL AND FANTASY BASEBALL.
 FANTASY SPORTS: HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT OF OWNING YOUR OWN
 SPORTS TEAM? MAYBE WE AS SPORTS FANS FEEL AT TIMES THAT WE COULD MAKE A
 BETTER TEAM OURSELVES. THIS IS OUR CHANCE. WE GET TO DRAFT FROM THE
 PROFESSIONAL ATHLETES AND USE THEIR STATS FOR OUR OWN TEAM'S POINTS.

 THIS FANTASY BASEBALL PROGRAM IS USED TO RUN YOUR OWN FANTASY BASEBALL
 LEAGUE.
 I MADE IT EASY TO USE AND STILL EFFECTIVE IN KEEPING THE STATS FOR THE
 LEAGUE. THERE ARE A LOT OF STATS THAT CAN BE USED,BUT THE ONES THAT WILL
 BE USED IN THIS PROGRAM ARE THE STATS THAT CAN BE TAKEN FROM MOST DAILY
 NEWSPAPERS DURING THE BASEBALL SEASON.
 THE TEAM WITH THE MOST POINTS AT THE END OF THE SEASON WINS THE LEAGUE
 CHAMPIONSHIP.YOU ARE THE COMMISSIONER AND DECIDE HOW TO RUN YOUR
 LEAGUE.

 YOU CAN HAVE A MAXIMUM OF UP TO 20 FANTASY TEAMS IN YOUR LEAGUE AND
 200 PLAYERS INCLUDING THE PITCHING STAFFS AND WHAT I CALL INJURED
 RESERVE PLAYERS.  (9 PLAYERS AND A PITCHING STAFF PER  TEAM)
 YOU CAN USE LESS THAN THIS, I ONLY LISTED THE MAXIMUM.

 ALSO YOU CAN USE LESS TEAMS WITH MORE PLAYERS PER TEAM, ETC.,
 ALMOST ANY COMBINATION YOU WANT.
 YOU CAN EVEN USE THE SAME PLAYER ON MORE THAT ONE TEAM IF YOU WANT,
 JUST ENTER THE NAMES AND STATS FOR THAT PLAYER ON ALL THE FANTASY
 TEAMS YOU WANT TO USE THEM ON.
 THIS PROGRAM IS VERY FLEXIBLE.

 YOU CAN ALSO START YOUR FANTASY BASEBALL SEASON ANY TIME DURING
 REGULAR BASEBALL SEASON AND YOU CAN END THE FANTASY BASEBALL
 SEASON ANY TIME YOU WANT TO.
 IT'S UP TO YOU, ITS YOUR LEAGUE.


 A TEAMS PITCHING STAFF (OAKLAND,ST. LOUIS,BOSTON ETC.)ARE CONSIDERED A PLAYER,
 AS KEEPING INDIVIDUAL PITCHING  STATS FOR EACH PITCHER WOULD BE A
 NIGHTMARE, AND THE EACH INDIVIDUAL PITCHER DOSEN'T PLAY EACH TIME THAT
 THEIR TEAM DOES, BUT THE REST OF THE STAFF DOES.
 I AM INCLUDING ON THIS DISK A FANRULES.DOC FILE THAT HAS THE RULES
 THAT I USE FOR OUR FANTASY BASEBALL LEAGUE. THEY ARE GENERAL RULES
 THAT YOU CAN ADAPT FOR YOUR LEAGUE OR TO GIVE YOU IDEAS ON HOW TO
 RUN A LEAGUE. ACTUALLY RUNNING A LEAGUE IS NOT HARD,OR REALLY TIME
 CONSUMING, ALTHOUGH IT DOES TAKE SOME TIME, THAT IS THE PURPOSE OF
 THIS PROGRAM TO MAKE A GOOD LEAGUE EASIER TO RUN.

 I ALSO HAVE OTHER FANTASY LEAGUES, INCLUDING FOOTBALL,BASKETBALL AND
 HOCKEY FOR THE AREAS THAT HOCKEY IS A BIG SPORT.

 I ALSO HAVE PLAYERS STATS LIST FOR USE IN HELPING TO SELECT
 PLAYERS FOR YOUR PLAYERS DRAFT.  THEY ARE AVAILABLE FROM ME FOR $2 EACH.
 DATA STATS LIST SHOW THE PLAYERS STATISTICS FROM THE PAST YEAR,AND SHOWING
 THEM ON WHAT TEAM THEY ARE ON IN SPRING TRAINING THIS YEAR.

 THIS DISK MAY BE COPIED AND DISTRIBUTED TO ANYONE WISHING TO HAVE A COPY.
 THE ONLY STIPULATION IS THAT NO ONE MAY MODIFY THIS PROGRAM.
 IT IS TO BE COPIED AND DISTRIBUTED AS IS WITH ALL DOCUMENTATION INTACT.

 IF YOU HAVE SUGGESTIONS FOR IMPROVMENTS OR IDEAS, I AM ALWAYS WILLING
 TO HEAR ABOUT THEM. PROBLEMS AND COMPLAINTS ARE ALSO NEEDED TO BE
 BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY, SO PLEASE CONTACT ME AT THE
 ADDRESS ABOVE OR MY TELEPHONE NUMBER IS 1-916-722-1702.


 ALL FILES USED ARE AUTOMATICALLY LOADED INTO MEMORY BY THE PROGRAM,

ON THE MAIN MENU

MOST OF THE MENU SELECTIONS WILL BE SELF EXPLANATORY, AS
WILL BE MOST OF THE SELECTIONS ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE PROGRAM

1. NEW YEAR

  USE ONLY TO START A NEW LEAGUE SEASON,ALL OLD FILES WILL
  BE LOST. THE FILES WILL BE EMPTIED TO START THE NEW SEASON.
  BACK UP OLD FILES IF YOU WANT TO KEEP THEM.
  2 FILES ARE CREATED OR EMPTIED, THEY ARE OWNERMAS AND TMPLAYER.
  THESE 2 FILES ARE NECESSARY TO RUN THE REST OF THE PROGRAM!!!
  OWNERMAS IS WHERE THE NAMES OF THE TEAM OWNERS AND THEIR TELEPHONE
  NUMBERS,THEIR FANTASY TEAM NAME (THEIR CHOICE OF NAMES),AND THEIR
  FANTASY TEAM NUMBER (TEAM NUMBERS START WITH 1 AND THEN ARE INCRUMENTED
  BY 1  UP TO THE TOTAL OF 20 MAXIMUM. THEY ARE AUTOMATICALLY INCRUMENTED
  EACH TIME YOU WANT TO ENTER NEW TEAM OWNERS.)

  THIS SELECTION MUST BE USED IF THERE ARE NO FILES OWNERMAS OR TMPLAYER
  ON THE DISK OR IF YOU WANT THEM EMPTIED.

2. INPUT TEAM OWNERS

  YOU WILL  ALWAYS HAVE TO USE THE ENTER KEY AFTER EACH OF THE NAMES
  ARE READY TO KEEP.
  THIS IS SELECTED TO PUT IN TEAM OWNERS NAMES,TELEPHONE NUMBERS,FANTASY TEAM
  NAMES. AS ALREADY STATED THE TEAM OWNER NUMBERS WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY
  INCRUMENTED FROM 1 TO MAXIMUM OF 20 AS YOU WISH TO ENTER TEAM OWNERS
  NAMES. (THE TEAM OWNER NUMBERS WILL BE THE KEY USED TO KEEP THE TEAM
  OWNER TOTALS,SO MAKE SURE TO KEEP A PRINTED LIST HANDY CAN BE USEFUL
  BUT NOT NECESSARY).

  ON CHOOSING THIS SELECTION, YOU WILL BE ASKED FOR THE NAMES ETC.
  UP TO 19 SPACES ARE SET ASIDE FOR OWNER NAMES, YOU CAN ENTER MORE THAN
  THIS,BUT WHEN ON THE SCREEN AND PRINTED PAGE,ONLY THIS AMOUNT WILL BE
  USED THE REST WILL NOT. TRY TO KEEP THEM UNDER THIS AMOUNT.
  UP TO 15 SPACES FOR TEAM NAMES WILL BE USED.

3. INPUT TEAM PLAYERS

  THIS  IS SELECTED TO PUT IN THE PLAYERS NAMES AND THEIR TEAM NAMES
  AND WHETHER THEY ARE A PITCHING STAFF OR OTHER PLAYER ALSO THE
  NUMBER OF THE TEAM OWNER.

    YOU WILL BE ASKED FOR THE TEAM OWNER NUMBER, THIS IS THE NUMBER
  THAT CORRESPONDS WITH THE OWNERS NAME AND FANTASY TEAM NAME.1 TO 20
  MAKE SURE THAT THE OWNER NUMBER IS CORRECT, THIS WILL BE USED TO ADD
  TO THE TEAM OWNERS TOTALS.
  YOU WILL  ALWAYS HAVE TO USE THE ENTER KEY AFTER EACH OF THE NUMBERS
  AND NAMES ARE READY TO KEEP.

  YOU WILL BE ASKED FOR THE CODE OF THE PLAYER,
  "P" IS FOR PITCHING STAFF, IF "P" IS USED THEN THE NAME PITCHING STAFF
  WILL THEN BE PUT IN THE PLACE OF THE PLAYER'S NAME SLOT AND YOU WILL GO
  DIRECTLY TO THE TEAM SELECTION.
  "R" IS FOR REGULAR PLAYER MEANS YOU USE THIS PLAYER ALL THE TIME AND THE
  PLAYERS STATS WILL BE ADDED TO THE FANTASY TEAM TOTALS.
  "I" IS FOR INJURED RESERVE, THIS MEANS THAT ALTHOUGH THE STATS WILL BE KEPT
  FOR THESE PLAYERS THEIR STATS WILL NOT BE ADDED TO THE FANTASY TEAM TOTALS.
  (THEY ARE KEPT IN RESERVE TO GIVE THE OWNERS CHOICES DURING THE SEASON,
  IF THEY HAVE A PLAYER HURT OR WANT TO USE THESE PLAYERS AT TIMES DURING
  THE SEASON SO YOU WILL NOT HAVE TO KEEP CHANGING ALL THE PLAYERS STATS
  WHEN THEY WANT TO USE THESE PLAYERS. ALL YOU WILL HAVE TO DO IS CHANGE
  THE "I" TO AN "R" OR THE "R" TO AN "I". TRY TO KEEP THE NUMBER OF PLAYERS
  EQUAL AMONG ALL THE OWNERS TO GIVE THEM ALL THE SAME CHANCE. YOU DON'T
  HAVE TO USE THE "I" IF YOU DON'T WANT TO,I USE IT TO MAKE THE SEASON
  A LITTLE MORE INTERESTING AND EASIER FOR ME ALSO.
  P,R,I ARE THE ONLY PLAYER CODES USED.


  IF THE PLAYER CODE IS "P" THEN PITCHING STAFF WILL BE PUT IN THE
  PLACE OF THE PLAYER NAME.
  OTHERWISE,YOU WILL THEN BE ASKED FOR THE PLAYER NAME.
  UP TO 19 SPACES ARE SET ASIDE FOR THE PLAYERS NAMES,TRY NOT TO USE
  MORE OR THE EXTRA WILL NOT BE PRINTED.
  AFTER THE NAME IS SELECTED (DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE SPELLING,IF YOU
  MISPELL THE PLAYER NAME,YOU CAN TAKE CARE OF THAT LATER).

  YOU THEN WILL SEE THE NUMBERS WITH THE TEAM NAMES ON THE RIGHT OF THE
  SCREEN AND THEN ENTER THE NUMBER THAT CORRESPONDS WITH THE TEAM YOU
  WANT AND THE TEAM NAME WILL BE PUT ON THE SCREEN.

  THE PLAYER STATS WILL BE ENTERED AT A DIFFERENT PLACE IN THE PROGRAM
  NUMBER 6 FROM THE MAIN MENU, BUT YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE PLAYERS NAMES
  ETC. FIRST BEFORE ANY STATS CAN BE ENTERED.

  YOU WILL THEN BE ASKED IF YOU WANT TO ENTER MORE PLAYERS.
  ENTER EITHER Y OR N.

4. UPDATE OWNER FILE

   THIS IS USED TO CHANGE OWNER NAMES AND TEAM NAMES AND TELEPHONE NUMBERS.
   YOU WILL BE ASKED FOR THE OWNER NUMBER YOU WANT TO SEARCH FOR.1 TO 20
   THE NUMBER MUST EXIST MAKE SURE OF THE NUMBER YOU WANT.
   BEFORE CHANGING ANY OWNER'S FILE PRINT OUT THE OWNER FILES SO YOU CAN
   MAKE SURE OF THE NUMBER YOU WANT.
   ENTER THE CORRECT NUMBER THAT CORRESPONDS TO THE PART YOU WANT TO CHANGE.
   YOU WILL THEN BE ASKED TO ENTER WHAT NAME OR TELEPHONE NUMBER THAT YOU
   WANT TO CHANGE TO.
   THE TEAM OWNER NUMBER CANNOT BE CHANGED.
   1 TO CHANGE OWNER NAME
   2 TO CHANGE TELEPHONE NUMBER
   3 TO CHANGE FANTASY TEAM NAME
   4 TO END CHANGES
   THEN YOU WILL BE ASKED IF YOU WANT TO CHANGE MORE "Y" OR "N".
   IF YOU DECIDE YOU MADE A MISTAKE AND WENT TO THE WRONG PLACE IN THE
   PROGRAM THEN JUST ENTER ANY VALID OWNER NUMBER AND THEN CHOOSE 4 TO
   END CHANGES AND N TO EXIT MODULE TO THE MAIN MENU

 5. UPDATE PLAYER FILE

   ON THE SCREEN YOU WILL SEE THE FIRST RECORD OF THE FILE TMPLAYER.
   THERE WILL BE THE OWNER NUMBER,PLAYER CODE,PLAYER NAME,PLAYER TEAM NAME.
   IF YOU WANT TO EDIT THE RECORD THEN HIT THE ENTER KEY.
   IF YOU WANT A DIFFERENT RECORD THEN ENTER "N" FOR NEXT RECORD
   "T" FOR NEXT TEAM OR "P" FOR PREVIOUS PLAYER RECORD.
   OR ENTER "X" IF YOU WANT TO EXIT TO THE MAIN MENU.
   WHEN YOU HAVE THE RIGHT RECORD YOU WANT ON THE SCREEN THEN JUST HIT THE
   ENTER KEY ALONE.
   IF YOU TRY TO ENTER "N" OR "T" AT LAST RECORD,THEN THE PROGRAM WILL
   AUTOMATICALLY SAVE THE FILES AND RETURN TO THE MAIN MENU.IT WON'T
   HURT ANYTHING AT ALL IT JUST SAVES THE FILES.

   YOU WILL BE GIVEN A MENU OF 5 CHOICES

   1 TO CHANGE OWNER NUMBER
   2 TO CHANGE PLAYER CODE OR TYPE P,R,I
   3 TO CHANGE PLAYER NAME
   4 TO CHANGE PLAYER TEAM
   5 TO END CHANGES

   AGAIN ENTER THE CORRESPONDING NUMBER TO THE CHANGES YOU WANT.
   YOU WILL BE ASKED IF YOU WANT TO CHANGE MORE AGAIN AFTER THE
   END CHANGES IS SELECTED.

   THIS MODULE IS USEFUL IF THERE ARE TRADES AMONG OWNERS,IF PLAYERS
   ARE TO BE DROPPED AND NEW ONES USED (WAIVED) OR IF THE PLAYER IS TO
   BE CHANGED FROM INJURED RESERVE TO REGULAR.
   AGAIN IF A PLAYER CODE IS CHANGED TO "P" THEN PITCHING STAFF
   WILL BE INSERTED IN PLAYER NAME. DON'T CHANGE THE PLAYER NAME
   IN THAT CASE.
   IF A PLAYER IS CHANGED FROM "P" TO "R" OR "I" THEN MAKE SURE TO CHANGE
   THE PLAYER NAME ALSO OR THE REPORTS LATER WILL NOT LOOK CORRECT.

   IF THE PLAYER NAME IS CHANGED THEN YOU WILL BE ASKED TO ENTER
   THE STATS FOR THAT NEW PLAYER IF THEY ARE NOT KNOWN THEN JUST
   ENTER 0 IN ALL CASES.
   THESE STATS WILL NOT AFFECT THE OWNER'S TOTAL POINTS,THEY ARE
   ONLY TO SEE WHAT THE PLAYER HAS DONE SO FAR IN THE SEASON.
   IF DON'T KNOW THE STATS YOU CAN ENTER THEM LATER BY GOING TO
   THIS MODULE AND SELECT PLAYER NAME CHANGE AND ENTER THE SAME
   PLAYER NAME AND THEN YOU WILL BE ASKED FOR THE STATS.
   IF THE PLAYER IS A PITCHER,THEN JUST SELECT TO CHANGE THE
   PLAYER CODE AND ENTER "P" AND THEN YOU WILL BE ASKED FOR THE
   PITCHING STATS.
   (WARNING DON'T ENTER PITCHING STATS BY CHANGING THE NAME
   PITCHING STAFF  BECAUSE PITCHING STATS ARE DIFFERENT THAN THE
   REGULAR PLAYERS STATS THEY THE HITTING STATS.USE THE CHANGE
   PLAYER CODE OPTION IN PITCHING STATS CHANGES.)

   YOU MAY WANT TO CHECK THIS MODULE OUT BEFORE THE SEASON STARTS
   SO IT IS EASIER WHEN THE SEASON BEGINS.

   AGAIN AFTER ENTERING 5 NO MORE CHANGES THEN YOU ARE ASKED IF YOU
   WANT TO CHANGE MORE PLAYERS "Y" OR "N".

6. ENTER PLAYER GAME STATS

   THE PLAYERS ARE KEPT IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER BY TEAM NAME,SO YOU CAN
   ENTER ALL THE PLAYERS YOU NEED FOR EACH TEAM TO MAKE IT EASIER
   TO FIND THE PLAYERS IN THE BOX SCORES IN THE NEWSPAPERS.
   (EXAMPLE ATLANTA BRAVES,BOSTON RED SOX ETC.)

   HERE IS WHERE YOU ENTER THE PLAYER'S GAME STATS.

   "T" IF THE TEAM DID NOT PLAY,
   "P" IF YOU WANT TO GO BACK TO ANY PREVIOUS PLAYERS.
   OR ENTER "X" IF YOU WANT TO EXIT TO THE MAIN MENU.
   USE THE ENTER KEY ALONE TO ENTER STATS FOR THE PLAYER ON
   THE SCREEN.

   PITCHING STATS WILL BE ENTERED FOR EACH PITCHER USED IN THE DAY.

   IF "Y" THEN THE PITCHING TOTALS WILL BE ADDED TO EACH PITCHING
   STATS ENTERED UNTIL ALL THE PITCHER'S NUMBERS ARE USED.

   IS A MENU ON THE SCREEN.

   IF YOU ENTER THE WRONG NUMBERS YOU CAN COUNTER ACT THAT BY PICKING
   THAT SAME PLAYER AGAIN AND ENTERING
   THE MINUS SAME NUMBER UP TO -50 AND THEN PICK THAT PLAYER AGAIN
   AND ENTER THE CORRECT NUMBERS.
