    Hello! Welcome to the wide world of Fantasy Football. On this disk
is everything you'll need to preview "The NFL Stats Tracker." As an
early experience participant, you'll have access to the latest
software updates, and full rights to the WinWare BBS (due to go
on-line in August). With this Windows application, you'll be able to
manage a Fantasy Football League, and easily view all kinds of NFL
statistics.
    All of us who have tried to run a football league know how
tedious, and time consuming, it can be. This program was created to
eliminate all the hassle involved, and to make week-by-week tasks as
enjoyable as possible. Those who have Beta tested the product agree
that an innovative graphical interface make the NFL Stats Tracker a
standout among Fantasy Football League programs!

    The Stats Tracker is equipped with a special dialog box that will
assist you in the setup of the program. You can find this dialog by
selecting the menu command: "Assistance" + "New Season Assistance."
    Up pops a dialog with a set of graphical buttons. All options
available in this dialog are also available as a menu commands. Here
is a brief description of what each button will do for you:

    * "Open Season" - Open the fantasy football database (the database
            provided with this demo is 92_SEAS.DB). This is the first
            thing you'll want to do when you enter the program!
    * "Define Stats" - Use this to set up you fantasy football points
            system. For details on how to do this, press F1 after
            pressing the "Define Stats" button.
    * "Add FFL Owner" - This is how a Fantasy Football team is
            established. You must have a Fantasy Football team
            available in the database before NFL players are drafted,
            or rosters are manipulated.
    * "Add NFL Player" - Use this to add a NFL player to the database
            that does not exist. The database supplied contains all
            the players that passed, rushed, received, or kicked, in
            the NFL!
    * "Draft Players" - After Fantasy Football teams have been
            established, you may want to draft players onto the team.
            By default, a fantasy team starts with an empty roster.
    * "Change Roster" - A NFL player is, by default, inactive when
            drafted. You may want to activate some, or all, players
            after drafting them.
    * "Exit" - Leave this dialog and return to the main program.

One thing you might try: create a fantasy team for your favorite NFL
club, then draft all players for that team onto the fantasy team. This
allows you to track the fantasy stats on that NFL team.
    The database should be set up after using all of the options in the
"New Season Assistance." All that's left are the statistics...

    You may notice that there is a lot that needs to be done just to
get up-and-going. It's important to understand that ANY Fantasy
Football program will take some start up at the beginning of the
season (i.e. establishing team franchises, and entering the initial
draft picks). If you have ever used another fantasy program, you'll
know that the "Database Setup," and "Uploading Stats," process is
MUCH less time consuming in the NFL Stats Tracker!

    Well, that should be it for now! Have fun exploring the program. If
you would like to contact us here at WinWare, feel free to do so (see
top of document).
