- Dear Accolade Customer,
-
- Enclosed is the latest Revision (ver. 1.5) of Jack Nicklaus' Unlimited Golf &
- Course Design. If you were experiencing one of the following situations, this
- new version should solve your problem.
-
- 1. The random sky hazzard has been remedied in this version. The ball no
- longer bounces off invisible objects.
-
- 2. All sound effects now play through the Adlib, and Soundblaster soundboards.
-
- 3. All sounds can be toggled on/off at any time by pressing Alt S when using
- the GOLF or DESIGN programs. NOTE: If you press Alt S before the end of
- a round of golf, the music will not play.)
-
- 4. The scrambled graphics on the flag screen using 486 computers has been
- corrected.
-
- 5. If you have a math coprocessor, program freezes have been corrected.
-
- 6. Digitized sounds will now only play on computers with clockrates greater
- than 8 Megahertz (MHz). Previously, on systems 8 MHz or slower, there was
- an occasional random freeze when a digitized sound occurred (when putting,
- for example). This was due to a conflict between the clockrate of the
- system and the timing of the digitized sound. Good news for IBM PS/2 Model
- 30 & Tandy SL users; the program does not freeze up any more.
-
- 7. The Genius mouse will now access all parts of the screen when in the
- Design program.
-
- 8. Cactus will no longer show up unexpectedly on your Royal Troon Golf Club,
- Scotland (J1), or Hazeltine (J5) courses in VGA graphics mode.
-
- 9. A flag appearing in the upper left hand corner of the overhead (out of
- bounds from the golfer's view) in "tourn" mode, will no longer happen if
- all 5 pins are not placed on a hole when in the Design program (the
- computer will now automatically place the other four pins to avoid this
- occurrence).
-
- 10. For those who like to show off their scores, you can print a scorecard by
- playing a full round of 18 holes while in the tournament mode. The
- tournament mode can be invoked by typing:
-
- golf [graphics] tourn <enter>
- example: golf v tourn <enter>
-
- Choose players, choose course, play 18 holes, quit to DOS.
- (while playing you cannot change the course conditions or save a
- game in progress.)
-
- After completing a tournament, type: results [course file name] and
- press <enter>
- example: results bear.res <enter> to display The Bear's Track
- course scores to the screen
-
- Issue a print screen command from the keyboard to print scores to
- your printer. <Ctrl>-<Prt-Screen>.
-

- where you can download and upload golf courses designed by people from all
- over the world. 24 hours -
