START UP
Run INSTALL.BAT to copy the Scheduler files from the distribution disk
to your hard drive. To copy files from drive A to drive C (will make
directory C:\ALLPROLS) type the following at the DOS prompt:
INSTALL A: C:
To start the ALL-PRO League Scheduler, go to the disk drive or hard
drive directory where the program resides and type LS at the DOS
prompt.
The program can run from a floppy disk or hard drive. However, the
program will run much faster from a hard drive.
If you run from a 360K floppy disk, you should run the program from
one drive and store your league data files on another drive since the
distribution disk has about 300K in files. For example, you could run
the ALL-PRO League Scheduler from a disk in drive A and store your
league data files on a disk in drive B. This gives you much more disk
space for storing data. However, if your disks hold more than 360K,
you could run and store the data files on the same disk. Select
DATAPATH from the Main Menu of the program to set up a different disk
drive for storing your league data files.
To run StatTrak from a hard drive, run the INSTALL program or copy all
files on the distribution disk to the hard directory of your choice.
Select DATAPATH from the Main Menu of the program if you want to set
up a different directory for storing your league data files.
To make a directory on hard drive C called ALLPROLS, use the following
DOS command:
MD C:\ALLPROLS
To copy all the files from the distribution disk in drive A to the
hard drive directory on C named ALLPROLS, use the following DOS
command:
COPY A:*.* C:\ALLPROLS
To make a data directory called LSDATA off the directory ALLPROLS on
hard drive C, use the following DOS command:
MD C:\ALLPROLS\LSDATA
To make the ALLPROLS directory on hard drive C the current directory
so you can start the program, use the following DOS command:
CD C:\ALLPROLS
To copy all the files in the data directory named LSDATA on hard
drive C to a disk in drive A (backing up your league data files),
use the following DOS command:
COPY C:\ALLPROLS\LSDATA\*.* A:
Page 6
Make sure you have a backup copy of the ALL-PRO League Scheduler
program, LS.EXE, and periodically make a backup copy of your league
files (files that end with .DAT). If you select a datapath from the
Main Menu of the program, your league data files will reside in the
datapath directory.
To print this documentation on your printer, type COPY README PRN at
the DOS prompt.
If you have any problems, questions, or suggestions concerning the
ALL-PRO League Scheduler, please let us know. We are committed to
making whatever changes are needed in order to bring you the best
league scheduler available.

OVERVIEW
The ALL-PRO League Scheduler v1.0 creates round-robin schedules for
any number of leagues at any number of locations. Works for up to 40
teams per league. Lets you customize schedule after it's computed.
Handles division play and allows the number of times teams play within
a division to be different from outside the division. Tracks game
scores and team standings. Displays and prints reports. Lets you
create report disk files. Includes mouse support and easy to use.
To create your first league:
- Select LEAGUE from the Main Menu.

- Select SELECT TEAMS and add teams.
- Select SELECT LOCATIONS and add game locations.

- Click COMPUTE to compute schedule.
- Optionally click EDIT to further edit schedule.
After the league schedule is created you can click SCORES from the
Select League Screen to update game scores or click REPORTS to
display and print reports.
If you plan to use a datapath (store league data files in a different
directory than where the program is stored), you need to define your
datapath (optional) from the Main Menu before creating the league.
Mouse support is provided. However, you can still run the program
with the keyboard. See PROGRAM NAVIGATION on pages 7-8 for details.
OVERVIEW - MAIN MENU
Main Menu choices are LEAGUE, SET COLORS, DATAPATH, and HELP. Select
LEAGUE to create leagues, update scores, and display and print
reports. Use SET COLORS to select the screen colors and settings and
to turn the sound On/Off. Select DATAPATH to set the drive and
directory for storing data files. HELP gives a brief overview of the
program and lets you print a registration form.
Selecting LEAGUE from the Main Menu takes you to the Select Leagues
Screen. You add and delete your leagues here. When you delete a
league, you will also be deleting the schedule and game scores for
that league (if they exist). Be careful using the DELETE function.
Click SCHEDULE to create and maintain the league schedule. Click
SCORES to update game scores for the league. Click REPORTS to display
and print reports.
Page 10
When you click SCHEDULE from the Select League Screen, you will
advance to the Schedule Screen for the league. If a schedule already
exists, you will be in Edit Mode. Otherwise you will be in Setup
Mode. Click PREVIOUS and NEXT to page by month through the calendar.
In Setup Mode, Click COMPUTE to compute a schedule. When you compute
the schedule, the previous schedule and game scores for the league
will be lost (if they existed). Click EDIT to customize the schedule
if needed (add games, delete games, change locations, etc.).
When you compute a schedule you will be advance to the Schedule Report
for the league. Click PRINT to print the report. Click EDIT to make
changes to the schedule.
When you select SCORES from the Select League Screen, you will advance
to the Schedule Screen in Update Mode. Select the game you want and
click UPDATE to add or change game scores.
When you select REPORTS from the Select League Screen, you will
advance to the Report Menu where your choices are LEAGUE SCHEDULE,
TEAM SCHEDULE, STANDINGS, TEAM INFORMATION, and MAIN MENU.
All reports can be printed. When you print a report, you can either
use the default report title or enter your own. You can select from 1
to 50 copies for any report, select the number of lines per page, and
select whether you want to form feed (advance to top of next page) at
the end of the report. You can also select whether to print to LPT1,
LPT2, or LPT3. Most printers are attached to the first parallel port
(LPT1). You can also choose to create a report disk file instead of
printing the report. You can specify a path along with a report file
name and can either create a new report file or append to an existing
report file.
Select LEAGUE SCHEDULE from the Report Menu to display the league
schedule. Click EDIT to edit the schedule. Click PRINT to print the
schedule. We plan to enhance the reporting functions for the ALL-PRO
League Scheduler in the next version. Let us know what you would like
to see.
Select TEAM SCHEDULE from the Report Menu to display the league
schedule by team. Click EDIT to edit the schedule. Click PRINT to
print the report.

scored by team), Game Average Points Against (points scored by team's
opponents), and Games Behind are displayed. Click EDIT to edit the
schedule. Click PRINT to print the standings report.
Select TEAM INFORMATION from the Report Menu to display the team name,

Page 11
OVERVIEW - SET COLORS
With SET COLORS you can customize the screens. You can select screen
colors, the desktop pattern, and other screen attributes. Click OK to
accept the changes and save them to disk, click DEFAULT to use the
default settings, or click CANCEL to use the previously selected
settings.
OVERVIEW - DATAPATH
Select DATAPATH to select the directory you want the league data
files to be stored. Select CURRENT DIRECTORY to store the data files
in the directory you were in when you started the program. Select
CURRENT DIRECTORY if you're not sure what a datapath is. Selecting a
separate directory for storing your data files makes backing up your
data easier (copy ALL files in the data directory to a disk or another
directory to back up). If you don't have a hard drive but have two
floppy drives, you might want to run the program from one drive and
store your data on a separate disk in another drive. This will give
you more disk space for storing your league data files. However, we
suggest you run the program from a hard drive if you have one. Hard
drives are much faster and reliable than floppy drives.
The ALL-PRO League Scheduler will NOT make a directory for you. You
must do it. See page 5 for examples of DOS commands including how to
make a directory.
OVERVIEW - HELP
Selecting HELP from the Main Menu gives you a very brief overview of
the program. A much more detailed overview is contained in this file.
Click PRINT to print a registration form. Click ABOUT to redisplay
the Welcome Screen which shows ALL-PRO's address and phone number.
