Plotto 5.04b Instructions
--------------------

Plotto Package Version 5.04b is a Lotto 649 Package for the Atari Portfolio.
It has some of the features of my IBM version, but as the Portfolio is not
a big computer, I have limited the features to the most important ones.


[A] Enter winning numbers   - This option allows you to update the database
                              as new numbers are drawn, you enter the date,
                              six winning numbers and the bonus number. The
                              program automatically updates the database.

[B] Search and Print Menus  - This option adds some new features to the
                              package, it allows searching and printing 
                              of winning numbers by date. There are two
                              sub-options in this menu, [a] is search for
                              winning numbers by date, [b] is print out
                              list of winning numbers. [c] is check lists 
                              of numbers [generated from options C or D].
                              [d] is scan database for a series of numbers.
                              Each of these new sub-options is self 
                              explainatory.

[C] Use 14 number system    - This option asks you for 14 of your favourite
                              numbers, and then generates a list of numbers
                              for ticket purchase. It asks you how much you
                              want to spend as well.  Number lists are sent 
                              to disk as well as the screen.

[D] Pick random numbers     - This option prints out a list of numbers for
                              purchase, it uses random choice, and asks you
                              how much money you wish to spend. Number lists
                              are sent to disk and screen.

[E] Look at bargraph        - This option allows you to view a barchart that
                              shows all numbers drawn. Because of memory and
                              size limitations, this feature is limited to 
                              one barchart, without bonus numbers. The chart
                              is viewed in two seperate halves, #s 1-25 on
                              the first chart, and numbers 26-49 on the other
                              chart. If there is demand and I get a big 
                              enough ram card I will do more charts.

[F] End Program             - Exits to Dos, Self explainatory.
