Race Manager is easy to configure for many types of competition. I made it with the idea of Formula 1 and Indycar in mind but you can use it for any champiionship where points are given at the end of the race. @endnode @node "SystèmeMin" "Système minimum" @{b}1.2 REQUIREMENTS@{ub} Race Manager uses the principle of the "locale" to be abble to run in different languages. For that to work, you NEED at least Workbench 2.1. You have no excuse if you still use 2.0 because there is no ROM to change, only the installation disks are different. Anyway I advice you to use 3.0 ou 3.1. Race Manager has been tested on the following machines: @{fg shine}*@{fg text} A3000 + PicassoII KickStart 3.1 @{fg shine}*@{fg text} A3000 + PicassoII Workbench 3.0 beta Printing of the title is not properly centered, probably because of a bug in the KickFile used (Beta ROM), and not in the final 3.0 KS. @{fg shine}*@{fg text} A3000 Workbench 2.1 The visual aspect of the ListViews is slightly different with this older version of the system. But it works anyway. @{fg shine}*@{fg text} A4000/040 KickStart 3.1 @endnode @node "Install" "INSTALLATION" @{b}2. INSTALLATION@{ub} Installing Race Manager is very simple, as all you have to do is copy the drawer to a place that suits you. You can thereafter delete the catalogs that you don't need (in the Catalogs directory). That's all! No need of an installer script, isn't it? @endnode @node "ToolTypes" "Les TOOLTYPES" @{b}3.1 THE TOOLTYPES@{ub} For now only two Tooltypes are supproted: @{u}FILEDIR@{uu} The path for the save files. @{i}Example:@{ui} FILEDIR=Data:RaceManFiles @{u}LISTFONT@{uu} The fixed width font to be used in the classification lists.
