Lotto Check v2.1d Copyright (C) 1994-2001 Lorence Lombardo.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION:
Lotto check is only useful to those who play the same ticket(s) each week.
This program makes ticket checking no longer a laborious task and is ideal
for work syndicates were a large number of tickets are played. It will
check Tattslotto, Oz lotto, keno, pools and Power ball. All system entries
are supported and each ticket can have its own individual name. The data file
which is created by LOTTO CHECK is compatible between the I.B.M and AMIGA
version of this program. I have seen other lotto checking programs on the
I.B.M but they were limited to check only standard lotto tickets, lacked
functions or options, and did not have decent ticket editing features.
This is the most powerful lotto checking program I have seen for the I.B.M.
and the only one I have seen for the AMIGA.
Requirements:-
Lotto Check version 2.1 comes with two binaries both requiring OS2+,
reqtools.library and the smaller of the two requiring hbasic2.library.
GETTING STARTED:
Before you start make sure that the file "LC-DEF.DAT" is in the same
directory as Lotto Check and then type LC2. Lotto check will
automatically load "LC-DEF.DAT" as the default data file so tickets can
be checked straight away. I have created a sample data file so you can see
how the checker works. All you have to do is enter some numbers between 1
to 45 and Lotto Check will start checking tickets. If you are checking the
new 2nd chance draw then just press [Enter] when asked for supplementary
number one and your tickets will be checked appropriately. Underneath each
ticket the checker will display a variety of options. I wont insult your
intelligence or waste my time explaining them since I feel that they are
straight forward. To reset the program you can also use the "ESC" key and
pressing the letter "q" quits the program.
OPTIONS MENU:
When asked to enter the lotto numbers, if you enter the letter "o" it
will take you to the options menu.
The options are as follows:-
"L Load a new data file."
"E Ticket editor" Allows you to create your own data file.
"R Create random tickets" Allows you to create up to 100 standard random
tickets. To create a random system ticket use the ticket editor.
"C Return to checker" Pressing "ESC" also returns to checker.
"W Show winning tickets only" Makes the Checker only display winning
tickets. Makes checking much faster.
"S Screen" Allows you to change the current screen mode.
"P Printer" Allows yout to change the printer output to a file or
another device. Screen & printer settings will be saved when quitting.
"A About"
"Q Quit"
USING THE TICKET EDITOR:
Most the functions of the ticket editor are fairly straight forward so I
will only explain the functions which require some explanation.
"Enter" Use this to give or change the ticket name.
"Arrows" Move the cursor around
"S sort" Sorts all ticket numbers from smallest to largest just
as they would appear on a lotto ticket.
"G goto" Go to a specific ticket number.
[ALT] KEYS:-
"N new" Clears all data.
"A print all" Prints all tickets.
[CTRL] KEYS:-
"S system" Changes the ticket system. This should also be set before data
entry takes place since all the contents of that ticket will be cleared.
"G games" This changes the amount of games per ticket. This should be set
before the data entry takes place because contents of the ticket will be
cleared.
"O options " Takes you back to the options menu. Pressing the "ESC" key
also does the same thing.
[Alt] / [Crtl] KEYS:-
The following command keys are common to the [Alt] and [Ctrl] keys. If the
[Alt] key is pressed then action will be peformed on the current ticket
and if the [Ctrl] key is pressed the action will be peformed on the
current game (line).
"X copy" Copys the current ticket or game to the ticket or game buffer.
"P paste" Pastes the ticket or game buffer to the current ticket or game.
"W swap" Swaps the current ticket or game with the ticket or game buffer.
"P print" Prints the current ticket or game to the printer.
"Z zero" Clears or zero's the current ticket or game.
"R random" Creates a random ticket or game. Be careful with this one it
will overwrite the current ticket or game. If you dont wish to overwrite
the current ticket or game then be sure to use the insert function first.
"D kill" Erase's the current ticket or game and shifts the following
tickets or games back one.
"I insert" Shifts the current and following tickets or games forward one
so that the current ticket remains blank for data entry.
Known problems:
It is possible you are running a back ground commodity or task which has
an [Alt] key configured to it. If a key conflict occurs then just simply
use the Right [Alt] instead of the Left and vice versa.
ATTENTION AMIGA USERS:
If you are transferring data files to the IBM you must give the data file
the extension ".DAT" or else the IBM version wont look at it.
ABOUT THIS PROGRAM:
This version of Lotto Check is a result of an AMOS port to VBdos, VBdos port
to HiSoft Basic, and it was done on an Amiga 1200t equipped with a
Blizzard 68060 and a Pixel64 graphics card.
