PC-GOLF THE GOLFER'S PROGRAM PC-GOLF Version 1.5 (C) Copyright 1984 Ed Chandler USER'S GUIDE PC-GOLF's User's Guide helps you learn how to use PC-GOLF. The Guide helps you learn all about the program in a short time. There are six lessons altogether. Each lesson explains one part of the program. As you complete a lesson you are ready to use that part of PC-GOLF. The six lessons cover the six menu options. The very first thing you must do is make a PC-GOLF RUN DISKETTE to use while you take the lessons. Here's how to do it. 1. Insert your DOS Diskette which also contains BASIC in the A Drive. BOOT UP DOS. Make responses to Date and Time prompts. 2. Insert a new or unused diskette in DRIVE B. This diskette will become the PC-GOLF RUN DISKETTE. In the following steps you are to type in the information enclosed by brackets []. means you are to press the ENTER key. <------ used for explanations. SS means Single Sided disk drives. DS means Double Sided disk drives. F6 means the Function Key labeled F6. 3. Now to format the RUN DISKETTE with the System files option. A>[FORMAT B:/S] <---format the disk in drive B: insert new diskette for drive B: and strike any key when ready <---do what it says Formatting...Format complete System transferred 322560 bytes total disk space <---160256 for SS drives 14336 bytes used by system <----13824 for SS drives 308224 bytes available on disk <---146432 for SS drives Format another (Y/N)?[N] <---the answer is no. 4. To put a copy of BASICA on the PC-GOLF RUN DISKETTE. A>[COPY A:BASICA.COM B:] <---copy BASICA onto the BASICA COM PC-GOLF RUN DISKETTE 1 File(s) copied <---if the files message says 1 File(s) copied, you must skip STEP 4a and do STEP 5 next. <---if the files message says 0 File(s) copied do STEP 4a. .EJECT 4a To put a copy of BASIC on the PC-GOLF RUN DISKETTE. A>[COPY A:BASIC.COM B:] <---copy BASIC onto the BASIC COM PC-GOLF RUN DISKETTE 1 File(s) copied <---if the files message says 0 File(s) copied you must get a DOS Disk with BASIC or BASICA and start again at STEP 1. 5. Remove your DOS diskette from the A Drive. Insert your PC-GOLF MASTER DISKETTE in the A Drive. 6. Copy all files from the PC-GOLF MASTER DISKETTE to Drive B. A>[COPY A:A*.* B:] <---command to copy all of ACOURSE ASC PC-GOLF's files to Drive B. AINTRO ASC APERFORM ASC APLAYER ASC ...... ... <-----all the rest, one after the other. 21 File(s) copied <---all of PC-GOLF'S files copied REMOVE your PC-GOLF MASTER DISKETTE from the A Drive and store it in a safe place, away from magnetic fields. REMOVE your PC-GOLF RUN DISKETTE from the B Drive. INSERT your PC-GOLF RUN DISKETTE into the A Drive. 7. Check the autoexec file for a match with BASICA. The AUTOEXEC.BAT file uses BASICA. If STEP 4 did show BASICA then you must skip to STEP 9. If STEP 4 did not show BASICA and STEP 4a did show BASIC then you must do STEP 8. 8. Make the autoexec file use BASIC instead of BASICA. A>[COPY CON: A:AUTOEXEC.BAT] <---create autoexec file [DATE] [TIME] [BASIC A:AMAIN.ZRO/S:512/F:5] <---use BASIC Press the F6 KEY(not the letter F and number 6) ^Z <---this is what you get when you press the F6 KEY. 1 File(s) copied <---autoexec file completed 9. That's it! You have made the PC-GOLF RUN DISKETTE. Next you should make a BACKUP for the RUN DISKETTE. Since the PC-GOLF RUN DISKETTE has System files on it DISKCOPY must be used to make the BACKUP. .EJECT 10.To make a BACKUP for the PC-GOLF RUN DISKETTE. Remove your PC-GOLF RUN DISKETTE from the A Drive. Insert your DOS Diskette in the A Drive. Insert a new or unused diskette in the B Drive. This diskette will become the BACKUP RUN DISKETTE. A>[FORMAT B:] <---format the disk in drive B: insert new diskette for drive B: and strike any key when ready <---do what it says Formatting...Format complete 322560 bytes total disk space <---160256 for SS drives 322560 bytes available on disk <---160256 for SS drives Format another (Y/N)?[N] <---the answer is no. A>[DISKCOPY A: B:] <---copy A to B Insert source diskette in drive A <---PC-GOLF RUN Insert target diskette in drive B <---BACKUP RUN Strike any key when ready <---do what it says copying 2 side(s) Copy complete Copy another? (Y/N)[N] <---the answer is no. A> <---remove BACKUP RUN diskette from Drive B That's it! You now have a PC-GOLF RUN DISKETTE and a BACKUP PC-GOLF RUN DISKETTE. Just what every golfer needs to keep score with PC-GOLF. Now Boot Up your PC-GOLF RUN DISKETTE. Answer the prompts.
