Darts Scorekeeper (for 501)


Thanks for trying the Darts Scorekeeper.  It is a small (4K), simple PalmPilot
application for keeping score when playing darts.  It's quite easy to use, but
we'll go through a few basics anyway.

501 Scorekeeper is shareware, with a cost of $5.00.  This is a fully-
functional version of the program, however, registration has benefits.





                       Benefits of Registration

As a registered user of 501 Scorekeeper, you will receive:

  1.  Free or low-cost upgrades to any possible future versions of the 
	program.
  2.  A free copy of its companion program, Cricket Scorekeeper, for those
	darts players who play both games (this is the only way to get
	Cricket Scorekeeper.  It is, and will not, be available for download.)
  3.  My undying gratitude.

So, please, consider registering your copy of 501 Scorekeeper.  Come on, it's
less than you'd spend at McDonald's for lunch.




                      How to Register Your Copy

  1.  Print out the registration form(register.txt, it came in the .zip file).
  2.  Fill out the registration form.  Be sure to include your e-mail address
        so that I can e-mail you a copy of Cricket Scorekeeper, and keep
	you informed of future enhancements and updates.
  3.  Enclose a check or money order for $5.00 U.S. made out to:
	Stephen T. Wangner
  4.  Mail the registration form and check or money order to:
	Stephen T. Wangner
	60 Henry Street
	N. Valley Stream, NY  11580-1016
	USA

Simple, isn't it?  Why not register then?  Not only do you get the Cricket
Scorekeeper, you support future development efforts not only by myself, but
all other PalmPilot developers.





                 Instructions for using 501 Scorekeeper

Once the application has started, you'll notice the screen is layed out in two
columns, one for Player 1 and one for Player 2.  Enter the respective player's
names in the text fields under the "Player 1" and "Player 2" labels.

Then, tap the "Reset Scores" button to set each player's original score at 501.

When a player scores, enter the score from that turn in the text field under
the "This Turn" label in the appropriate column, and hit the "Subtract" button.
This will subtract this turn's score from the player's current score, and clear
the "This Turn" field.

Note: This program is designed to be used with the standard "Double-in,
Double-out" version of 501, so a score of 1 is not possible, and the program
will not let you subtract a turn score that would leave a player with an 
overall score of 1.

The program will remember its data between runs, so it is possible to switch
to another application and come back and pick up right where you left off.

That's It!!!


Have fun,
