BOWLING ASSISTANT -- (C) R.G. Marchessault -- 1995
==================================================

Thanks for trying the BOWLING ASSISTANT.

This program is shareware. Feel free to evaluate it as long as you 
like to be sure that it suits your needs and those of your league. 
If you like it and choose to use it for your league, you are 
required to register it. Registration details are provided in the 
file ORDER.FRM which is included in the compressed distribution file.

A printed version of the on-line manual is available in the file
BOWLASST.DOC. Also a tutorial is included in the file BOWLASST.TUT.

The BOWLING ASSISTANT is a versatile, easy to operate bowling league
record keeping program. With this program you can eliminate the hours
spent each week manually updating your league records. After setting up
your league with the program you will maintain accurate and detailed
records by simply spending a few minutes each week entering the scores.
As soon as the scores are entered the program takes care of all the
record keeping details. In addition to a compreshensive weekly standing
sheet, a variety of detailed reports can be printed at any time.

See the tutorial and on-line manual for more details and directions.
