MicroFox Baseball Statistics (BETA) for Windows MBS Shareware ver 0.90 (MBS090.ZIP) Copyright (c) by Jim Hass 1994-1995 MicroFox Company Post Office Box 447 Richfield OH 44286-0447 USA This is a pre-production version of a Windows Baseball Statistics Program. It is being released to get feedback from potential users to make sure we're on the right track. This program will keep track of many statisics for Leagues, Teams, Players, Hitting, Pitching, Running, Fielding, and Scheduling. If there's anything missing, please let us know. You will be able to keep notes (up to 32K) on teams and players for additional data. 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 INSTALL.EXE while in Windows. It will create a windows program group (if you allow it to) that will contain an Uninstall Icon (besides the normal program icons) so that you can remove the program completely from Windows if you decide not to use it. 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. A full help system will be ready for version 1.0. The Close button quits the program. If you register this beta version, you will receive the most current beta version right away. The registered production version (1.0) will be sent to you free when it is completed. 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 (users 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.
