-------------------------------------------
To setup game, type in at system prompt:
----------------------------------------
C:\>
a:setup1 a: \ c: \football
. . .
(reset machine) (optional)
C:\>
a:setup2 a: \ c: \football e:
. . .
C:\>
fe
where a: is the source drive
\ is source root sub-directory
c: is your system drive
\football is system root sub-directory
e: is your RAM disk designation
At the end of the first quarter, the game
will ask you a Playoff Trivia question which will
be answered correctly to continue playing the game.
You will register to receive the Playoff Trivia
answers. Send your donations to Lucy Ann Jones
Software Company after filling out your registration
form. See file REGISTER.FRM for a blank form
for the SHAREWARE Distribution Network.
This package contains the files necessary to
build a root subdirectory for the game, and help you
install an optional turbo-charging RAM drive using at least
DOS 2.0 or later. If you have MS-DOS 3.3 Release 1,
you may have problems implementing RAM drive on a 386-based
machine. You may need to request MS-DOS 3.3 Release 2
to fix the bugs in Release 1 of MS-DOS 3.3 for no charge;
otherwise, specify your system drive as your RAM disk
designation in SETUP2, which works without a RAM drive;
e.g. run SETUP2 A: \ C: \FOOTBALL c: where c: is your RAM disk.
This technique can also be used to slow down the game.
Run SETUP1 from your source diskette drive and
load football files to your target drive which should be
your system drive; e.g., SETUP1 A: \ C: \FOOTBALL
loads football files from a:\ to c:\football.
If your source drive is your system hard drive in a root
sub-directory, use SETUP1 C: \rootsub.dir C: \FOOTBALL
to install football if the source is down-loaded from a BBS.
After your system is warm-booted (optional) and noting
the RAM drive assigned at start-up (optional), run SETUP2
to customize FE.BAT that you must use to execute
football; e.g., run SETUP2 A: \ C: \FOOTBALL E:
to setup the FE.BAT file, from a:\ to c:\football
and assign disk e: as your RAM disk. If you have
a 386-based machine and are running MS-DOS 3.3 Release 1,
you must assign your system drive c: as your RAM disk
designation; e.g., run SETUP2 A: \ C: \FOOTBALL c:
to setup the FE.BAT file correctly without a RAM drive.
If you are on an network, use FOOTDOC.BAT
to send print out of the setup and rules to LPT1.
