Announcement of the availability of the Fantasy Grand Prix program
FGP2 from the Aminet anonymous ftp sites.
At the start of the 1994 Formula One season, Autosport, a UK motor-
sports magazine, began running a competition to win a trip to the
Australian Grand Prix in Adelaide. This competition revolved around
a Fantasy Grand Prix season; members of the public could, given a
limited amount of money, create their own Formula One team which
would score points according to how well the real teams did.
With my own team taking part in Autosport's Fantasy Grand Prix, and
several friends expressing interest in running our own Fantasy
Grand Prix, I wrote a program to keep track of several fantasy
teams. This was FGP version 1; it was unfriendly, cumbersome, but
it worked. Some three races later after taking on advice, FGP2 was
born. Unlike FGP it is quite easy to use and the output is nicer.
FGP2 is a CLI program with a simple command line. Full instructions
for the program are included along with the rules for the Fantasy
Grand Prix. Example data files are included as well as data for
the first four races of the 1994 season so you can quickly catch
up.
The distribution does not include the source code, which has been
tested so far on both Amiga and Unix. The source code is available
from the author Simon Austin (austins@sol2.uel.ac.uk) for those
who don't own an Amiga but would like to use this program.

the sigil _odegra_ in the language of the Black Priesthood of Ancient
Mu, and means `Hail the Great Beast, Devourer of Worlds'." `Good Omens'
