ASE Scorer Copyright (c) 1989, 1993, 1994 Application Software Engineering Pty. Ltd. Welcome to ASE Scorer Version 7 for scoring pairs and teams BRIDGE events using the IBM PC or clone running DOS, DOS Extended or OS/2 operating systems. In AUSTRALIA this version is for evaluation only and does not support any of the Australian Bridge Federation masterpoint rules. The commercial Australian version is available from A.B.F Marketing and the Grand Slam clubs. TO INSTALL *************** IF NOTHING ELSE *************** at the very least, read the following before proceeding: ******************************************************************************** Unzip ase7dos.zip file Place all the enclosed files into one directory and run the install program. The default directory name is c:\ase7. Answer the questions in install and once it is complete type ASE from your chosen directory. Use F1 for help. e.g. cd\ase7[Enter] install[Enter]...............and answer any questions then press [enter] ase[Enter] will get you up and running. To run regularly make a short cut to ase.bat In XP use compatibilty mode windows 95 Ignore the startup club name (Glenn Bridge Club) Go to CONTROL/REGISTER and enter the registration number 42339 [enter] ******************************************************************************** For those with more time: NOTES on your computer needs: *1 CONFIG.sys should contain a FILES statement with a value greater than 19 For example: files=30 *2 The ASE.bat file supplied in the /ASE7 directory contains example SET statements to change file locations for all system files. For example: set tl=C:\ase7\ase.lib ASE tournament library file set asehelp=C:\ase7\ase7.hlp ASE help text file set asecode=C:\ase7\ase.cde ASE code text file cd\ase7 ase007 cd\ set tl= set asehelp= set asecode= *3 If you use these SET statements, then a SHELL statement could be required in the CONFIG.sys For example: shell=c:\command.com /e:1024 /p *4 The country code in the CONFIG.sys file is used to supply the correct format for date (day,month,year in Australia or month,day,year in the U.S.A. etc.). For example, in Australia: country=061,,c:\dos\country.sys or U.S.A.: country=001,,c:\dos\country.sys *5 Version 7 runs under MS-Dos 2.1 or greater (or equivalent PC-Dos or DR-Dos) It will run under Windows as a text display (not GUI). Mouse is not supported. A hard disk is desirable, though a floppy based system is possible. The system occupies a little over 1.5 Megabyte of disk space. Data files will occupy further space. 520Kbytes of free memory are required when running the ASE Scorer under native DOS. If you find you cannot trim your memory overheads and ASE Scorer will not fit in memory (error 08 loading a program) then some more memory is obtained by COPYing scrnio.sml to scrnio.dll. This reduces memory needs but the help system is no longer available. For those using extended memory the ASE Scorer will perform without memory limitations and operate better using ASE007.ext. Rename this file to ase007.exe. For those using OS/2 rename the ASE007.os2 to ase007.exe for better results. The install program needs to be run under DOS or DOS partition in OS/2. NOTE: If you intend to use extended memory, some type of extended memory driver, such as HIMEM.SYS which comes with DOS 5.0 or QEMM, which you need to purchase separately, is required. NOTE: in countries where the "," is used for decimals instead of "." use the module scrnio.cma to replace scrnio.dll and scrnio.cms to replace scrnio.sml. *6 The ASE Scorer MUST be installed using the INSTALL.exe program before attempting to use it.
