This is a pre-production version of a Windows Baseball Statistics Program.
It is being released to get feedback from potential users to make sure
we're on the right track. This program will keep track of many statisics
for Leagues, Teams, Players, Hitting, Pitching, Running, Fielding, and
Scheduling. If there's anything missing, please let us know. You will be
able to keep notes (up to 32K) on teams and players for additional data.

if you downloaded or were given a zipped file (MBSnnn.ZIP), you must first
unzip the file with PKUNZIP (or another unzip utility) before installing.

To install this Baseball Statistics program, run INSTALL.EXE while in
Windows. It will create a windows program group (if you allow it to) that
will contain an Uninstall Icon (besides the normal program icons) so that
you can remove the program completely from Windows if you decide not to
use it.

This program can be used by the smallest little leagues all the way up
to major league baseball. The first time you start the program, all the
fields will be blank (unless a sample data file is included). First choose
the Year button to specify what year you want to start with. Next select
the League button to enter the league name(s), then use Team button for
each league to set up team numbers and names. Finally, select the Player
button to add players to the teams.

The tabs at the bottom of the program window allow you to select Teams
(where the team standings are displayed), Players, Hitting, Pitching,
Fielding (where player statistics are displayed), Custom (choose the
statistics you want to see for players), and Schedule (for scheduling
games, fields, and umpires). The Schedule tab is currently inactive
because that part of the program hasn't been completed yet.

The Update button allows you to enter or add to the data fields for teams
and players. The Sort button allows you to sort players by different data
fields. There is a separate sort for offensive, defensive, and pitching
catagories. Teams can't be sorted since they are displayed in standings
format (win-lost record and games behind). The Notes button allows you to
enter notes for teams and players. You may use this for player addresses,
phone numbers, etc. The Print button prints the current screen or notes.
The Help button displays an About Box, but a full help system is being
worked on for version 1.0. The Close button quits the program.

If you register this beta version, you will receive the most current beta
version right away, plus the registered production version 1.0 will be
sent to you free of any other charges. The scheduling will be completed,
you will be able to delete years, leagues, teams, and players (currently
the delete button is inactive), and there will be a complete help system.

Here are some of the suggestions already made for program enhancements:

1. Add the ability to open and close multiple data files and allow copying
   (merging, importing & exporting) between files. This will allow many
   people to keep track of their teams or leagues and have a way to put
   them all together at a later date.

2. Display league leaders in different catagories (users choice).

3. Add additional statistical fields (wild pitches, passed balls, etc.)

4. More printed reports (schedules, certificates, contracts, etc.)
