Front Page Sports:  Football
Version 1.00 Release Notes

"Subdirectory" in the following notes refers to a subdirectory of the 
directory where Front Page Sports:  Football is located.  If you follow-
ed the installation procedure and made no changes, this directory will
be C:\DYNAMIX\FOOTBALL.  Files that are not specifically said to be
in a subdirectory can be assumed to be in this directory.


I.    GAME PLANS

  Stock Game Plans
    
    We have included 36 offensive and 12 defensive game plans.  You
    may use these during games or as the basis for your own custom
    game plans.  These are located in the STOCK\STOCKPLN subdirectory.

    The stock game plans are of six general types, listed down the left
    side of the table.  The numbers in the body of the table complete
    the filename for that game plan.  For example, all offensive stock
    plans have are named STKOFF??.PLN.  The first Pass - Aggressive plan
    is 01, so the filename would be STKOFF01.PLN.

                                    Offense:              Defense:
                                  STKOFF??.PLN          STKDEF??.PLN
    Pass - Aggressive        01  07  13  19  25  31        01  07

  QuickStart Default Game Plans  
    
    When you start a QuickStart Exhibition game, the program automat-
    ically selects OFF.PLN as the offensive game plan for both teams,
    and DEF.PLN as the defensive game plan for both teams.  You may, if
    you wish, create a custom game plan and save it as OFF.PLN or
    DEF.PLN in the main FOOTBALL directory.

      
II.   TRADING FILES

There are three types of files you might like to trade with others who
have purchased Front Page Sports:  Football - Highlights, Leagues, and
Exhibition Plays or Game Plans.

  
  Highlights 
    
    Highlights are kept in the XTAPES and LTAPES subdirectories.  XTAPES 
    contains highlights that you have saved in Practice or Exhibition
    games.  LTAPES holds highlights from League games.  The Highlights
    files are named VCR.1, VCR.2, VCR.3, VCR.4, and VCR.5, corresponding
    with the slot they are saved into on the Save Highlights dialog box.

    If you want to copy highlights of a League game, go out to the Box
    Score for that game and Show Highlights first.  This puts the high-
    lights for that game into the VCR.* files.
    
    To give highlights to a friend, simply copy the VCR.? file for the
    highlight into your friends XTAPES directory.  You may view them by
    going to Practice from the Play Editor.

    EXAMPLE:  To copy the 3rd highlight in your Exhibition highlights 
    directory to a floppy disk, change to the XTAPES directory and type:
                             COPY VCR.3 A:  <Enter>

                               
  Leagues
    
    All files associated with a league are automatically created with
    the same eight-character filename that you typed in when you orig-
    inally created the league, so to copy all the files you need, just
    type COPY <filename>.*.

    EXAMPLE:  To copy a league named MYLEAGUE to a floppy disk, change
    to directory that contains the league and type:
                           COPY MYLEAGUE.* A:  <Enter>

    Note:  This copies only league and team data and all players and 
    statistics, not plays or game plans.  


  Exhibition Plays/Game Plans
    
    When you save a play, it is normally saved to the TEAM subdirectory.
    If you want to give a play or plan you've designed to a friend, you
    can use the normal DOS command to copy it.  

        
    You can also use the COPY command to copy game plans.  Inside each
    game plan, the plays are listed by their filename, including the
    path relative to where the game plan is saved.  If you copy a game
    plan to a friend's hard drive, make sure that you put it into the
    same subdirectory that it was in on your hard drive, AND make sure
    to copy any custom plays in the game plan to the same subdirectory
    in which they are located on your hard drive.


III.  ADDITIONAL COMMAND KEYS

Two command keys have been added for use during games.  <O> forces the
camera to stay behind the offense.  <D> forces the camera to stay be-
hind the defense.
