- WINDOWS LOTTO v1.0 is a powerful lotto analysis program for
- Microsoft Windows 3.0+. The program features a comprehensive set
- of charts for handicapping lotto numbers. A Quick Pick option
- picks the best numbers to play. The numbers picked can be used
- with any of the 24 wheeling systems that are included with
- WINDOWS LOTTO. The program also checks the resulting tickets for
- winning matches. Context sensitive help is available for all
- items.
-
- WINDOWS LOTTO is compatible with all lotteries that pick 5, 6 or
- 7 numbers, including the new multi-state Powerball game. A data
- file for the Florida lottery is included so that you can easily
- evaluate the program. When you register for WINDOWS LOTTO you
- you will receive an up-to-date data file for whatever lottery
- you play, at no extra charge.
-
- How to Get Started Quickly:
-
- You can put the WINDOWS LOTTO files in any directory. WINDOWS
- LOTTO also requires VBRUN100.DLL. VBRUN is used by hundreds of
- pd/shareware programs and is widely available. If you already
- have VBRUN, you do not have to do anything else. If you do not
- have it, you can get it from Data Solutions by sending $5 to
- cover shipping and handling. You can also download VBRUN from
- CompuServe by typing GO MSBASIC, enter DL-5 at the Forum prompt,
- and BRO VBRUN*.* to find it. VBRUN100.DLL should be copied into
- your Windows directory.
-
- After copying the WINDOWS LOTTO files to the directory of your
- choice, use the Windows Program Manager File-New menu options to
- add LOTTO.EXE to one of your Program Groups, if you wish to have
- it readily available. Otherwise, you can run it with the
- File-Run option in Program Manager.
-
- WINDOWS LOTTO will automatically load a data file at startup if
- you pass it the name of the data file as a parameter. For
- example, to automatically load the Florida data file that is
- included with the program, type "LOTTO.EXE FLORDIA.DTA".
-
- The file PRODUCTS.DOC contains detailed information on other
- lotto products that we carry. Registered users receive a
- discount on these products. An order form is included in the
- file.
-
- How to Print the User's Manual:
- ______________________________
-
- You can print the WINDOWS LOTTO User's manual by clicking on
- "Documentation" in the WINDOWS LOTTO Help menu. It can also be
- printed by running Microsoft Write, and then loading the file
- WINLOTTO.WRI.
-
- How to Obtain Technical Support:
- ________________________________
-
- All users can obtain Technical Support either by U.S. mail or
- CompuServe Email (72356,354). We will try our best to fully
- support unregistered users during their evaluation period, but
- we will give priority to registered users, if necessary.
- Registered users become eligible to receive free, unlimited
- Technical Support by telephone.
-
- What SHAREWARE is:
- __________________
-
- Shareware describes a method of distributing copyrighted
- software in which a user is allowed to fully evaluate the
- software before purchasing it. After an evaluation period, the
- user is required to register the product if s/he decides to keep
- using it.
-
- Shareware distribution addresses all of the legitimate
- complaints that users have with commercial software
- distribution.
-
- o Shareware allows a user to fully evaluate a product, free of
- charge, in his or her home, *before* deciding to buy it.
-
- o Shareware programs can circulate freely on Bulletin Boards,
- through Shareware disk distributors, or through user groups.
-
- o Because Shareware distribution reduces the need to
- advertise, Shareware is less expensive than commercial
- software.
-
- o Shareware authors can often be more responsive to users'
- requests for help or bug fixes than large software
- companies.
-
- o Shareware software, needless to say, is never copy-protected.
-
- In short, Shareware is a user's dream come true. Users show
- their appreciation to developers for this extremely flexible
- distribution scheme by registering their software. Without user
- registrations Shareware software would gradually disappear. It
- is not sufficient to simply let the "other guy" pay the
- registration. You are the other guy's "other guy".
-
- What SHAREWARE is not:
- ______________________
-
- Shareware is not "free" software. Shareware is not Public
- Domain software. The fee that you may have paid to receive a
- Shareware program does not mean that the software has been paid
- for. This money was paid to a Shareware disk vendor, User
- Group, Bulletin Board Service or retailer to cover their cost of
- getting the program to you. Shareware software is paid for by
- registering your copy with the author.
-
-
- The Future of WINDOWS LOTTO:
- ____________________________
-
- By distributing WINDOWS LOTTO as Shareware I am expressing my
- confidence in the public to "Do the Right Thing". I would like
- you to evaluate WINDOWS LOTTO for as long as 30 days before
- deciding whether you want to keep it. If you do decide to keep
- it, you must register your copy. Full details on registration
- can be found in the REGISTER.DOC file. I would be anxious to
- hear your comments about WINDOWS LOTTO. Please feel free to
- contact me with your suggestions for new features, etc.
