MicroFox Baseball Statistics for Windows MBS Shareware ver 1.06 (MBS106.ZIP) Copyright (c) by Jim Hass 1994-1996 MicroFox Company Post Office Box 447 Richfield OH 44286-0447 USA This is a Windows Baseball Statistics Program that will keep track of many statisics for Leagues, Teams, Players, Hitting, Pitching, Running, Fielding, and for scheduling Games, Fields, and Umpires. You will be able to keep notes (up to 32K) on Leagues, Teams, Games, Fields, Umpires, and Players. if you downloaded or were given a zipped file (MBSnnn.ZIP), you must first unzip the file with PKUNZIP (or another unzip utility) before installing. To install this Baseball Statistics program, run SETUP.EXE while in Windows. It will create a windows program group with the icons used to start the program and copy the program files to a directory. You can uninstall the program any time by running SETUP again and choosing "Uninstall MBS". This program can be used by the smallest little leagues all the way up to major league baseball. The first time you start the program, all the fields will be blank (unless a sample data file is included). First choose the Year button to specify what year you want to start with. Next select the League button to enter the league name(s), then use Team button for each league to set up team numbers and names. Finally, select the Player button to add players to the teams. The tabs at the bottom of the program window allow you to select Teams (where the team standings are displayed), Players, Hitting, Pitching, Fielding (where player statistics are displayed), Custom (choose the statistics you want to see for players), and Schedule (for scheduling games, fields, and umpires). The Update button allows you to enter or add to the data fields for teams, players, and the schedule. The Sort button allows you to sort players by different data fields. There is a separate sort for offensive, defensive, and pitching categories. Teams can't be sorted since they are displayed in standings format (win-lost record and games behind). Sorting the schedule also allows you to filter it by team or by umpire. That allows you to see just the games for one team or for one umpire. The Notes button allows you to enter notes for leagues, teams, players, fields, games, and umpires. You can use this for player addresses, phone numbers, etc. The Font button allows you to change the color, size, and type of font used for text. The Print button prints the current screen or notes. The Help button displays an About Box and a full help system. The Exit button quits the program. You can open and create additional statistic data files through the file menu. There is no limit to the number of files you can have. Also, through the file menu, files can be saved as different names and backed up to diskette for safe keeping. When you register this copy of MBS, you will receive a license for the use of the registered version of the software and your registration number. The most current version of the program will also be sent to you. Here are some of the suggestions already made for program enhancements: 1. Add the ability to open and close multiple data files and allow copying (merging, importing & exporting) between files. This will allow many people to keep track of their teams or leagues and have a way to put them all together at a later date. 2. Display league leaders in different catagories (user's choice). 3. Add additional statistical fields (wild pitches, passed balls, etc.) 4. Add titles and multiple true-type fonts to the printed reports. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Registered users will receive the latest version of MicroFox Baseball Statistics, plus other programs of ours.
