- CADDY.EXE V. 1.1 DOCUMENTATION
- by
- Michael C. Taylor
-
- NOTE - release 1.1 fixes a potential memory overflow error in
- CADDY (as well as the previous misspelling!).
- - also improved logic to prevent multiple installations
- of CADDY.
-
-
- CADDY is a memory-resident utility designed for use with Accolade's
- MEAN-18 golf simulation. Since I'm not an outdoor duffer and limit my
- hacking to MEAN-18, I don't know a whole lot about different clubs, swings,
- etc. Because of this, I designed CADDY, a memory-resident table that
- tells how far the ball will travel for each club for 3 types of swings.
-
- To activate CADDY, simply type CADDY before playing MEAN-18. This
- will install the program which will be activated whenever F1 is pressed.
- The table that appears shows 3 types of swings for each club. The first
- is a full swing. The second (labeled SHORT) is a swing one line from the
- top on the MEAN-18 "swing meter". The last one (DOTTED) is a swing up to
- the dotted line on the meter (roughly 1/2 swing).
-
- While playing MEAN-18, pressing F1 will display this table for roughly
- 10 seconds before returning to the Golf game.
-
- CADDY can be included in a batch file, since I have included logic to
- prevent the program from loading itself more than once (If you try to do this
- you will get a "CADDY already installed" message.
-
- CADDY was programmed in Turbo Pascal release 4.0 and a listing is
- included. Currently, the program does not UNinstall itself, which means
- that after the golf game, pressing F1 will still display the help screen.
- I hope to add this function in future releases. Also, I would like to add
- a routine to allow you to press a key to return to MEAN-18, rather than
- use the delay routine.
-
- If anyone has any Inline assembler and/or pascal suggestions on how to
- do either, I would appreciate hearing from you (I've already tried several
- Pascal routines which invariably "hang" the system so I went to using the
- Delay statement).
-
- I would also be interested in hearing any suggestions or comments on
- the program and what else may be useful in Online CADDY.
-
- Enjoy!
