                  VICTORY Thoroughbred Handicapping Program
 ==============================================================================

  VICTORY is a state-of-the-art handicapper for thoroughbreds.  It is based
  upon principles from "Total Victory At The Track" by William L. Scott,
  augmented by several of my own new concepts.

  This archive should contain the following files:

     FILE_ID.DIZ    A brief program description for use on bulletin boards.
     MANUAL.COM     The documentation manual, in a self-browsing format.
     README.TXT     This overview text file.
     REGISTER.COM   A small utility that prints a registration form.
     TD061095.VIC   A sample saved results file from the registered version.
     TRACKS.NAM     A data file that stores the track names.
     VENDINFO.DIZ   Information for shareware distributors and vendors.
     VICSETUP.COM   A utility for customizing certain features of VICTORY.
     VICTORY.CFG    A data file that stores the settings from VICSETUP.
     VICTORY.EXE    The actual handicapping program.
     VICTORY.HLP    A data file that contains the help text.
     WHATSNEW.500   An overview of the new features in this version.

  Although VICTORY and its companion programs do not require a mouse,
  full mouse support is included to facilitate easier navigation.

  To read the documentation manual (always a good way to get started),
  type MANUAL.  From anywhere in the manual you can return to the index
  (the "table of contents") by clicking on the "Back To Index" button.

  To run the handicapping program, type VICTORY.

  To customize certain features of VICTORY, run the program VICSETUP.COM.
  (I strongly recommend that you stick with the default settings until
  you have become thoroughly familiar with the VICTORY program, however).

  To register your copy, turn on your printer and type REGISTER.  Then just
  fill in the form and mail it (along with a check covering the registration
  fee of $30) to:
                         Patrick J. Aiken
                         427 Lassiter Drive
                         Highland Heights, OH  44143
