LineDrive can't find the file Lndrv.CFG. This is normal the first time you run the program. This file is created by the installation process. This process only takes a few minutes to run and will configure LineDrive to your specifications. Press any key to exit help and return control to the main program. Then if you are ready to configure LineDrive press any key except <ESC>. If you do not have all the information you need,(team owners and team names), press <ESC> to exit the program.                                                                                                                                                                                                                  LineDrive cannot find the files it needs in the drive/directory that you specified when you configured the program. Probable cause is that the wrong disk is in the drive. Press any key to exit the help window and return control to the program. Then change to the proper disk and press a key again to resume. Press <ESC> if you need to exit the program.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            LineDrive supports two kinds of leagues, DRAFT LEAGUES and AUCTION LEAGUES. In a DRAFT LEAGUE, players are selected in an annual round by round player draft. Drafting Order is a semi-inverted order of last year's final league standings. (See LnDrv.DOC for a more detailed explanation of drafting order). No Fees are collected or prize funds distributed in a Draft League. In an Auction League team owners take turns nominating players for auction with the nominated player being sold to the highest bidder. In an Auction League owners are charged a fee for player trades, mid-season free agent signings and roster moves and cash prizes are distributed at the end of the season. See <1.00>.

LineDrive keeps track of where you are in your player update. If you elect to stop here, you may continue at any time starting from right where you left off.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               If you release a player currently under a guaranteed contract you must pay the money remaining on his contract into the prize fund. This fee does not count against your total spending limit.

Close out your draft only if you are finished but be aware that the draft MUST be closed before you can begin any of the other league functions such as statistical updates.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                If you answer 'YES' each member will have his share of registration added to his accounts receivable file. This fee is intended to pay the commissioner back for his outlay for registration and is NOT added to the general prize fund.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    êáäÕÕîÆÊýêè²ÕÈ¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥øÒáËùéÆãËËïÔÈÕÙÕ÷øÚÔÎÎçÛÛëÖæÐÏäÊ¶¹µ¥Ôèêæóûîêü¥Õñ³¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥ÐÉË×ÌÆáèâñÊÏéÝØÍêöáÊíÚÞßÐ×ÊäÎöËÝÔóíÔéÓÊÇÖïÕÒÞÓ×ÈßÐòäíö×âÊæÛ÷ËöæØÍÞÑùÌÇ×âõáÛòðèëù×ßÛêÏÛâðâÜàÑæßéôÙÕÕÍáÑäØóÞÏéìåîÎðÐ÷ÉÉïÙÞÌÌÏÈëáãÑÞìíÚôìÊæëÆÜÚÔùïêÛìÔØÜ÷ÌçØËÏÊÜ÷âßøÑÙÚÔàÍàøâõèÜêÉíêßÎÑØùæùêó¥Îøñæóé±¥ÓÞ¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥ÆìñÔêÛðìÜÊÛ×êÖïÍä÷ÒöËùæåôãÒòÉÜíÒÙÚáÔäÐÊôËçôÒ÷òÜßîñÙÐÖÛÍæËÐêàÏùÞÆÜÕíôðÏËÆÍÙÏøóäëÍÓÇñîï×ÝâïãÐÐØã×áÜãÈâÐøöùñÛïùÓÏêÆ×êËËÕÚãÖÕðÖÙÚñÛëèÛ÷çàÑäìÝõÔèôÔÙÆÕùíäåÓ¼¶½²¾¹½²½¼¸¸ùäáåÊÏÔÆÍÛâãîÈÛÉÖåàå×õîãÜìÎÉÒí÷×éïÇïßÐåõ÷çÆèøÆ÷ÉÕäðÈÈãÖÛàìÝÖÉÛãíäçïÛïëêìÏîÉÒ÷ðÑÏÒöÓÓëèîí¥¼ºº»   ÐäæÍÉæñçÜÏßøîÙßâéÇçô×ÌÜîØÛìÜëàÏÔÊøÔæÕòÖïÏÕÉßÝåÇÖÍ×íæøñâåÏôÖååíëéíÓâàãÔÛØø
