- CADDY.EXE Ver. 2.5 DOCUMENTATION
- by
- Michael C. Taylor
-
- To use CADDY.EXE you must have CADDY.EXE in the same directory
- as your golf program and courses.
-
-
- For ECADDY.EXE (the EGA version of CADDY) you must have the
- following courses in the same directory as your golf program
- and courses:
- ECADDY.EXE
- EGAVGA.BGI (required for ECADDY only!)
-
-
- NOTE - release 2.4 fixed the problem on some machines with the
- spacebar causing the swing to begin when attempting to
- remove the CADDY help window. 2.4 also locks all keys
- except the spacebar when the window is displayed. This
- prevents another problem with the arrow keys being "active"
- while the help window was displayed.
- Also, CADDY no longer remains resident when it is done
- executing !
-
- Release 2.5 includes ECADDY.EXE - an EGA version of CADDY.
- Previous versions did not support the EGA mode of Mean-18!
- ECADDY.EXE requires roughly 160K in order to execute! This
- is because a much larger buffer is required in order to save
- and restore an EGA screen!
-
-
-
- CADDY is a memory-resident utility designed for use with Accolade's
- MEAN-18 golf simulation. Since I'm not an outdoor duffer and limit my
- hacking to MEAN-18, I don't know a whole lot about different clubs, swings,
- etc. Because of this, I designed CADDY, a memory-resident table that
- tells how far the ball will travel for each club for 3 types of swings.
-
- CADDY can be invoked in any of the following ways:
-
- 1) CADDY (or ECADDY) - with no parameters will load itself and will
- then execute GOLF.EXE (GOLF.EXE must exist in
- the current directory);
-
- 2) CADDY (or ECADDY) progname arg1 arg2, etc.
- where : progname is the name of the program to be
- executed after CADDY is installed.
-
- arg1 thru argn are any parameters to be
- passed to progname.
-
- for example - to run my GPRO.EXE golf utility
- type
-
- CADDY GPRO
-
- or to run M18.EXE (another Golf utility) type
-
- CADDY M18
-
-
- The Caddy Program will display a help table whenever F1 is pressed during
- the Mean-18 game. The table that appears shows 3 types of swings for each
- club. The first is a full swing. The second (labeled SHORT) is a swing
- one line from the top on the MEAN-18 "swing meter". The last one (DOTTED)
- is a swing up to the dotted line on the meter (roughly 1/2 swing).
-
- While playing MEAN-18, pressing F1 will display this table and pressing
- the space bar will return you to your Golf Game.
-
- When using the EGA version of caddy, you MUST press either the
- right arrow key or the left arrow key after you return from the help screen!
- This is because of a very persistant bug in ECADDY that garbles the Club
- literal on the Golf Screen unless one of these keys is pressed! If you notice
- the Club indicator becoming garbled, simply press one of these keys and
- reselect the club. I hope to fix this problem in a future release!
-
- CADDY no longer remains resident when it is finished executing!
-
- Also, when you're not playing golf, and using your machine for the more
- mundane functions like running a business, I do quite a bit of micro-computer
- consulting whether its installing new hardware, modifying existing software or
- recommending and/or implementing custom software systems. If you need help
- with any of the above or have questions or comments about CADDY, I'd love to
- hear from you.
-
- CADDY maintenance and enhancements are beginning to take a fair amount of
- time, so if you want to be assured of receiving the latest enhancements to
- CADDY, as well as information on new software - like tournament software,
- and league maintenance, please contribute $10 to register your copy of this
- software.
