           UPDATES from/for the USERS of PC-GOLF.

1. From Richard Pearson in Wyoming, Minnesota.
   The AUTOEXEC.BAT file must be modified if you want to run
   PC-GOLF on the TANDY 1000. Here is what Richard did to
   make it run on his Tandy. He changed the AUTOEXEC.BAT file
              from: BASIC A:AMAIN.ZRO/S:512/F:5
              to  : BASIC A:AMAIN.ZRO/I/S:512/F:5
   This is a requirement of MS DOS/GW BASIC.  The /I switch
   prevents dynamic allocation of space during file operations.
   Many thanks to Richard Pearson.

2. From Gordon Kaverly in Lennon, Michigan.
   Gordon has a Kaypro with a hard disk. He wanted to run from the
   hard disk rather than the floppy on drive A. We worked it out
   over the telephone. After the telecon, it seemed to me this
   should be a standard capability.  The constraint that PC-GOLF
   was to be run on the A drive has been removed. You can now
   load PC-GOLF into any drive you wish. Then when you make the
   drive containing PC-GOLF the default drive, it will execute
   properly. The original AUTOEXEC.BAT file and a new BATCH file
   named PCGOLF.BAT are on the PC-GOLF diskette. You can take
   your choice. They look like this:
          AUTOEXEC.BAT-->  DATE
                           TIME
                           BASICA A:AMAIN.ZRO/S:512/F:5
           PCGOLF.BAT -->  DATE
                           TIME
                           A:BASICA AMAIN.ZRO/S:512/F:5
   If your BASIC is not on drive A, you will have to change the
   drive letter in the PC-GOLF.BAT file.
   Many thanks to Gordon Kaverly.

3. What to do when you SWITCH to a later VERSION of PC-GOLF !
   For example, when you switch from version 1.4 to 1.5, you
   undoubtedly want to continue using the same PC-GOLF data
   base you were using with the 1.4 version. Well, it's easy
   to do that.  Here's how.
      a. Place the PC-GOLF version 1.4 diskette in the A drive.
      b. Place the PC-GOLF version 1.5 diskette in the B drive.
      c. Select the A drive as the default drive.
      d. When the A> prompt appears, ENTER the following copy
         command.
      d. A>COPY A:*.DAT B:
   The six files which make up your version 1.4 data base will
   replace the equivalent files in the version 1.5 data base.
   Now you can run the latest version of PC-GOLF programs and
   continue to build your personal data base.

4. User's have asked about increasing the number of golfers
   beyond the 16 presently allowed. PC-GOLF was written for the
   benefit of the individual golfer, a kind of one-on-one thing
   for the active amateur golfer and his golfing buddies. There
   seems to be a place for another kind of PC-GOLF too, alongside
   the 1.x version. There has been some tentative design work
   done but nothing definite. If things all come together in the
   first half of '86 there could be a version 2.x ready for use
   in 1986.

5. Who has the next input for the "UPDATE" file ?
