ABOUT WINDOWS FOOTBALL: This is a simplified and scaled-down version of WINDOWS FOOTBALL v2.0 which will be commercially released this fall. We have provided this to you as a shareware version, at this time, with two hopes in mind: 1) You will become familiar with this version, and will send us your comments about the program. We certainly welcome the feedback of any armchair quarterbacks out there, and Windows affecianados as well. 2) If you register this version with T-SOFT now, we will send you the "commercial" version at no charge when it is released. . . a significant savings over the $59.95 suggested retail price the product will carry when released. Special features found in the commercial version not available in this version include: > 4 offensive formations, and 40+ offensive plays. > 13 defensive play calls. > The computer version has a much smarter "coach" opponent. > Actual professional football team and individual stats, updated yearly. > Injuries to individual players, and spot substitutions. > Two difficulty levels, includeing weather factors and home field advantage. > Print outs of game and team stats. > A computer vs. computer mode which allows you to play complete games in under 3 minutes while in the background mode. > Play by Play print-outs, detail down, distance, offensive and defensive plays called, as well as a descriptive result of the play. Plus much much more! Release date is anticipated for August '92. Miscellaneous: WINDOWS FOOTBALL is written in the C language, and comprises over 17,000 lines of code. The program was written and designed by Tommy Sager, an engineer in Odessa, Texas, and Keith Magee, a software sales manager in Dallas. Both Tommy and Keith played college football, and are die-hard fans of the sport. Keith (the more handsome and intelligent of the two) played Quarterback at USM, and Tommy was forced to struggle in the defensive line as a Noseguard at East New Mexico. (This was written by Keith, by the way, as Tommy left his crayons at home!) DIRECTION: The easiest way to put FOOTBALL.EXE in to your Program Manager is by opening Windows' File Manager and Program Manager at the same time, with one on one side of the screen and one on the other. Then highlight FOOTBALL.EXE by pressing the left mouse button. While still holding the left mouse button down, "drag" FOOTBALL.EXE onto the spot in Program Manager where you want it stored. Then release the left mouse button and the icon for Football for Windows will be displayed. The game can now be played by double-clicking on the new icon. FOOTBALL should be stored in its own subdirectory. However, it can be stored anywhere. It does not have to be stored in you path. The initialization file MUST be stored in the Football for Windows startup directory or in your path. The program should work without the initialization file, but games and matches cannot be stored or retrieved. If you have any questions or comments or would like to pre-purchase WINDOWS FOOTBALL v2.0, write or send payment to: TSOFT #9 Brittany Ln.
