Revision History
GolfLog v8.0 thru v8.1g
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Copyright 1992, 1993 * RiverBend SoftWare * All Rights Reserved
||| New in v8.1g
1.. Revised the Summary screen and Print Summary function to
include Low (best) 18 hole score and High (worst) 18
hole score. These scores will only show on the Summary
screen and the printed Summary report IF the following
conditions exist:
A. The Golfer selected has a minimum of 2 or more
full 18 hole games recorded in the database.
B. The 2 or more games for the Golfer selected must
have different scores.
2.. Revised code to require a Golfer to have a minimum of
ten (10) full 18 hole games recorded in the database
before a Handicap Index can be figured. Heretofore, it
was only required that the selected Golfer have a minimum
of 10 games saved irregardless if they were 9 or 18 hole
games. Now, at least 10 of the games MUST be full 18 hole
games.
3.. Minor cosmetic changes to various screens (I'll get 'em
like I want 'em one of these days).
||| New in v8.1f
1.. For those of you who like to bet money on your golf games,
two new prompts have been added to the Add Game option.
They are "Money Won" and "Money Lost". When you see the
"Money Won" prompt, either enter the amount won or if you
lost money, press <Enter> and you will get the "Money Lost"
prompt. If you neither won nor lost money, press <Enter>
at the "Money Won" prompt then press <Enter> again at the
"Money Lost" prompt. If you had more than one wager going
with other playing partners and you won on one wager and
lost on another, then enter the amount won from the wager
that was won at the "Money Won" prompt then enter the amount
lost on the other wager at the "Money Lost" prompt.
By pressing <Enter> at each of these prompts without entering
an amount, a zero is placed in each record for the amount
won or lost. DO NOT enter a negative amount in the "Money
Won" field such as -5.00 (meaning you lost $5.00). Simply
don't enter any amount and press <Enter> to get the "Money
Lost" prompt. If you didn't lose any money, press <Enter>
without entering any amount to get to the next prompt.
2.. Added the necessary code to show the amount won or lost for
each Game Record recorded. When GolfLog reads the game
record datafile and sees that it's a record from a prior
version of GolfLog (v8.0 thru v8.1e) it will show that no
won/lost amount was recorded for that record. This same
information will show up in the printed Game record.
3.. Added the necessary code to show the amount the Golfer is
either wining or losing by on the Summary Screen and printed
Summary Record. This is a cumulative amount with the amount
lost subtracted from the amount won. If the Golfer has lost
more than he/she has won, the amount lost will reflect total
winings subtracted from the total losses. As an example, if
the Golfer has lost $15.00 over several games and won $8.50
over several more, the amount in the Summary Record will be
shown as a $6.50 loss for the cumulative figure. The total
amount won (if winnings exceed losses) not counting any
losses is shown also. If losses exceed winnings, the total
amount lost not counting any winnings will be shown along
with the amount lost.
4.. Modified some of the coding to try and cause it to use less
memory when running. GolfLog is not a memory hog but every
attempt is made each revision to tweak the memory requirements
and cause it to use even less.
5.. Fixed a bug that sometimes caused GolfLog not to close all
its open files when returning to the Main Menu. If you've
ever deleted a record and when returning to the Main Menu,
GolfLog quit running and exited with an error message, this
was the cause. Hopefully this is fixed and won't happen
again!
6.. Cosmetic changes to various screens.
||| New in v8.1e
1.. Changed codeing to allow for more than 50 Course Records
in the Course Handicap List.
2.. Rewrote code for deleting Game Records to make it more
efficient and to cause a backup copy of the Game Records
to be saved into a file called GAMES.BAK when a Game
Record is deleted.
3.. Cosmetic changes throughout.
||| New in v8.1d
1.. Increased the maximum Number of Courses in the registered
version to 50. The shareware version still permits a
maximum of 2 Course records
2.. Increased the maximum Number of Games in the registered
version to 200. The shareware version still permits a
maximum of 5 Game Records.
3.. Cosmetic changes throughout.
||| New in v8.1c
1.. Changed the code in the shareware versions to allow for
the printing of Game Records and Summary.
2.. Cosmetic changes throughout.
||| New in v8.1b
1.. Removed the List Golfer option from the Main Menu and
replaced it with the Course Handicap feature. This
feature is available to registered users only.
2.. Changed number of Games allowed in the shareware version
from 10 to 5.
3.. Minor cosmetic changes to various screens.
||| New in v8.1a
1.. Changed number of full (18 hole) games required to compute
Handicap Index from 5 to 10. The code for the formula used
to compute the index was changed also to compensate for the
change in the number of games required. This should give
an even more accurate handicap index.
2.. Added option to select Golfer and print his/her Summary of
all games recorded.
3.. Added option of using F10 Key to quit any of the "add" screens
to the "XT" version (GOLF_XT.COM). This was previously only
available in the 286 and 386/486 versions. If you wish to
quit and return to the Main Menu when at any of the "add"
screens, just press <F10> then <Enter> and you'll be returned
to the menu. The record you were adding will not be saved.
3.. Minor cosmetic changes to various screens.
||| New in v8.0h
1.. Tweaked code to increase speed and use even less memory in
all three (XT, 286, 386/486) versions.
2.. Rearranged selection windows for easier use when selecting
records to review, print, etc.
3.. Minor cosmetic changes throughout.
||| New in v8.0g
1.. The file GL.KEY is no longer required in the shareware version
only. It makes no difference if it's there or not in the
shareware version, however it is still required when running
the registered version of GolfLog.
2.. Removed the online Help function as it added additional overhead
and wasn't being used by the majority of registered users.
3.. The only "F" Key active now is the <F10> Key and it's used to
exit back to the main menu when adding information to the
database. Just press <F10> then <Enter> to quit to the main
menu at any "add" screen. This only works on the two 'AT'
versions (GOLF_286.COM and GOLF_386.COM). The F10 key to quit
WILL NOT work on the XT version.
4.. Minor cosmetic changes in some of the screens.
||| New in v8.0f
1.. Reduced price of registered version from $39.95 to $32.95
The $3.00 Shipping/Handling charges still applies bringing
the total cost of the registered version to $35.95
||| New in v8.0e
1.. Removed requirement for the GOLFLOG.HLP file in the code
for the 8086 XT version only. This file is still required
in the 80286 and 80386/80486 versions.
2.. Removed the option of pressing the F10 Key to quit from the
8086 XT version only. This option is still available in
the 80286 and 80386/80486 versions.
3.. Minor cosmetic changes in various screens.
4.. No changes were made to the 286 or 386/486 versions.
||| New in v8.0d
1.. Removed the built in Help function in the 'XT' version
only. This function was too much of a load for XT machines.
The built in Help function is still available in the 286
and 386/486 versions.
2.. Minor cosmetic changes in various screens.
3.. Added additional topics to the online help file (GOLFLOG.HLP).
4.. Added more details to the User Instructions (GOLFLOG.DOC).
||| New in v8.0c
1.. Changed hot key from F1 to F10 to quit at any point in
the Add Game, Add Course, Add Golfer, and Handicap Index
screens. Now just press F10 then <Enter> at any point in
these screens to return to the Main Menu.
2.. Added online help option. To bring up a list of topics
press F1 then scroll the list using the UpArrow and Down
Arrow Keys to highlight the selected topic. At that point
press <Enter> to cause a window to appear giving a brief
description of the topic selected. This option has added
additional memory requirements to GolfLog. For GolfLog
to run comfortably, a minimum of 300k memory should be
available when GolfLog is started.
3.. You must have the file called GOLFLOG.HLP in the same
directory with GOLFLOG.COM and GL.KEY before GolfLog v8.0c
will run.
4.. To exit from the Help screens, press the <Esc> key.
||| New in v8.0b
1.. Added option of pressing F1 then <Enter> to quit at any
point in the Add Game, Add Course, and Add Golfer
screens.
||| New in v8.0a
1.. Changed Summary report to show NET Score and NET Hole
Average ONLY if the Golfer selected has a valid Handicap
Index. ~~~~
2.. Added an internal change in the code to cause a flag to
be reset in each Golfer's datafile when a Handicap Index
has been determined by GolfLog.
3.. Minor cosmetic changes to various screens.
>> NOTE: (For registered users only) If you're already using
>> GolfLog v8.0 then you need to go back and have GolfLog
>> re-compute the Handicap Index.
>> This will cause a flag to be reset in the individual
>> Golfer's datafile so the correct information will be
>> shown in the Summary Report.
N O T I C E
GolfLog will run best if you run the proper version according
to the type machine you have. If you have a 386 or 486 machine
then always run the 386 version (GOLF_386.COM) rather than the
XT or 286 version. Also, it's a lot easier to select the version
you plan to use then rename that copy to GOLFLOG.COM using the
DOS "RENAME" command as in "RENAME GOLF_386.COM GOLFLOG.COM"
===========================================================================
