The Evaluation Version is exactly the same as the full version except you can only have 3 players in any one pool. (The full version allows for up to 250 players!) See the initial registration screen for information on how to order the full version of Turbo Tourney. ========================================= Part 2: Software Installation Information ========================================= To install Turbo Tourney, use the Program Manager or File Manager to start SETUP.EXE as you would any other Windows-based application. For example, if you are installing from drive A: - From the Program Manager File menu, choose Run. - In the Run dialog box, type A:SETUP and choose OK. Or - From the File Manager, double-click the SETUP.EXE file icon on drive A. ------------------------------------ Cannot find VBRUN300.DLL file ------------------------------------ If you obtained Turbo Tourney from an online service such as Compuserve or America Online you may find that you also need the VBRUN300.DLL file to run Turbo Tourney. If you don't have this file ask the SYSOP how to obtain it and copy it to your /WINDOWS/SYSTEM directory. ------------------------------------ Changes to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file ------------------------------------ If you are running Microsoft Windows 3.0 or Windows 3.1 (i.e. not Windows for Workgroups), you will need to change your AUTOEXEC.BAT as follows: SHARE /L:500 /F:5100 If the /L or the /F setting to SHARE has a larger value than listed here, leave the setting as it is rather than reducing it. ** Please make this change before trying to run Turbo Tourney. ** ========================================= Part 3: Notes & Tips ========================================= ------------------------------------------------------ Printer Error - 20534 (Error detected in database DLL) ------------------------------------------------------ Because Turbo Tourney 2.0 utilizes Access 1.1 databases you may receive this error if you have Access 2.0 along with the Microsoft Jet Engine Compatibility Layer. This is because it causes Turbo Tourney to create Access 2.0 databases and the report writer cannot read these files. We can supply printer drivers that you can use to update the report writer and allow it to read Access 2.0 databases. Simply contact Sideline Software to receive these drivers. ----------------------------------------- Running Turbo Tourney under OS/2 ----------------------------------------- Turbo Tourney 2.0 can been successfully run under the WIN-OS/2 operating system. The only reported problem has been with the Printer Setup dialog causing the default printer to be removed. This will cause unexpected results while printing. The following steps should be followed: - do not use the Printer Setup from within Turbo Tourney to change printers - use Control Panel to change/set your default printer ========================================= Part 4: How to contact us ========================================= Thank you for ordering Turbo Tourney!
