General System Features
_______________________

T-N-T has been designed to be very easy to use with a good pointing device.  In 
addition to the usual Windows interface conventions, you will find the following 
features:

	o	The Focus Bar.  To keep navigation of menus to a minimum, select the
		attributes of interest directly from the dialog bar at the bottom by 
		spinning them into focus for operations invoked by menu options.   

	o 	Dialogs that permit updating or changing data can be prefilled by 
		double clicking on the accompanying listbox.

	o	Graphical representations with the ability to save current selections 
		as the default view.


The Basics
__________

To use T-N-T for tracking scores and maintaining a football pool, you will start under 
the File menu and establish the list of participants.  If required, you can change the 
team names for those instances where a team moves to another city.  Double clicks will 
generally move items into an edit box or add them to a list.  Most other interaction 
requires only a single mouse click.   

The schedule may need to be entered.  The database provided on the evaluation copy of 
this software should already have the current season's contests, however, if not, future 
(or past) schedules may be entered at any time.

Once the schedule has been entered, copies of the current week's contests can be printed 
for distribution to participants by selecting Weekly Schedule from the Reports menu.    

Each week the participant's predictions and game scores should be entered by accessing 
the dialogs from the Edit menu option.  After scores are entered, or anytime scores are 
changed, its important to allow subtotaling to complete.  Many queries rely on the 
completion of this process to display accurately.

To determine which teams you may decide to "pick" as winners, you may want to let the 
computer make its predictions.  When the Predictions option is selected there will be 
two algorithms available.  Past history is used to assign a numerical weighting to 
various categories and the team that has the highest numbers in the majority of the 
categories is declared the predicted winner.  

If you wish to do further analysis under the View menu.  Standings are available as they 
were during the season and week in the focus bar.  An individual team's performance can 
be seen by viewing a summary of their games played both at home and away, against 
divisional or non divisional opponents.  The complete list of game history is shown by 
default, but can be narrowed by spinning to the opponent of interest on the focus bar and 
pushing the Focus Team button.  Finally, the results of participants weekly predictions 
can be reviewed by selecting the Current Leaders option.  

Finally, to see how your predictions stand up against the computer's and other participants,
you can review it with the bar charts availabe under Graphs.  The Current Week view is 
intended for review against your colleagues, whereas the Season To Date graph is useful 
for reviewing trends in your picks versus the computer generated predictions.


Trouble Shooting

The following problems may be experienced when running the software.  

	o 	T-N-T makes extensive use of VBX controls which are memory intensive.
		If fonts grow larger or other items appear to be drawing incorrectly 
		or out of proportion, it may be because of a shortage of memory.  This 
		can be corrected by closing windows within T-N-T or other Windows 
		applications.

	o	In the event of a power outage or some other abnormal end while running 
		T-N-T, one or more of the database or indexes may become corrupt.  This 
		condition will usuallly appear at start up immediately after such a 
		disruption resulting in an error message similar to the following:

			"Error #:  -xx  Opening File    File Name: PLPKPOF.DBF
		
		This could also occur if another application has the file open concurrently.  
		If you feel that the indexes are damaged, try running TNTRENDX from a DOS 
		prompt and it may repair the databases.  Registered users will certainly 
		receive any assistance required to correct or replace the corrupt database.
