PC-GOLF (tm)
Copyright 1984 Ed Chandler
UPDATES from/for the USERS of PC-GOLF.
1. From Richard Pearson in Wyoming, Minnesota.
The AUTOEXEC.BAT file must be modified if you want to run
PC-GOLF on the TANDY 1000. Here is what Richard did to
make it run on his Tandy. He changed the AUTOEXEC.BAT file
from: BASIC A:AMAIN.ZRO/S:512/F:5
to : BASIC A:AMAIN.ZRO/I/S:512/F:5
This is a requirement of MS DOS/GW BASIC. The /I switch
prevents dynamic allocation of space during file operations.
Many thanks to Richard Pearson.
2. From Gordon Kaverly in Lennon, Michigan.
Gordon has a Kaypro with a hard disk. He wanted to run from the
hard disk rather than the floppy on drive A. We worked it out
over the telephone. After the telecon, it seemed to me this
should be a standard capability. The constraint that PC-GOLF
was to be run on the A drive has been removed. You can now
load PC-GOLF into any drive you wish. Then when you make the
drive containing PC-GOLF the default drive, it will execute
properly. The original AUTOEXEC.BAT file and a new BATCH file
named PCGOLF.BAT are on the PC-GOLF diskette. You can take
your choice. They look like this:
AUTOEXEC.BAT--> DATE
TIME
BASICA A:AMAIN.ZRO/S:512/F:5
PCGOLF.BAT --> DATE
TIME
A:BASICA AMAIN.ZRO/S:512/F:5
If your BASIC is not on drive A, you will have to change the
drive letter in the PC-GOLF.BAT file.
Many thanks to Gordon Kaverly.
3. What to do when you SWITCH to a later VERSION of PC-GOLF !
For example, when you switch from version 1.4 to 1.5, you
undoubtedly want to continue using the same PC-GOLF data
base you were using with the 1.4 version. Well, it's easy
to do that. Here's how.
a. Place the PC-GOLF version 1.4 diskette in the A drive.
b. Place the PC-GOLF version 1.5 diskette in the B drive.
c. Select the A drive as the default drive.
d. When the A> prompt appears, ENTER the following copy
command.
d. A>COPY A:*.DAT B:
The six files which make up your version 1.4 data base will
replace the equivalent files in the version 1.5 data base.
Now you can run the latest version of PC-GOLF programs and
continue to build your personal data base.

4. User's have asked about increasing the number of golfers
beyond the 16 presently allowed. PC-GOLF was written for the
benefit of the individual golfer, a kind of one-on-one thing
for the active amateur golfer and his golfing buddies. There
seems to be a place for another kind of PC-GOLF too, alongside
the 1.x version. There has been some tentative design work
done but nothing definite. If things all come together in the
first half of '86 there could be a version 2.x ready for use
in 1986.
5. Who has the next input for the "UPDATE" file ?

and store it in a safe place, away from magnetic fields.
