DIAMOND SCHEDULER ... a sports league scheduling program for creating round-robin and elimination style pairings.

A MESSAGE FROM THE AUTHOR
Thanks for taking the time to evaluate Diamond Scheduler, the Windows-based program designed to help you schedule sports leagues. I hope you find the program to be as useful as I've found it to be in our league. The help file embedded within the program and the sample schedule file should answer questions you have about its use. If you have any problems, please feel free to contact me at jhall@cactusware.com.

MINIMUM SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
Diamond Scheduler is a Windows-based program. While the program will benefit from any speed available to you, I regularly run the program on an x-486 system with adequate results. Regardless of the computer, you should have at least 16mb or more RAM available.

EVALUATING THE PROGRAM
Before registering your copy of Diamond Scheduler, I ask that you thoroughly evaluate the program to make sure it meets your needs. Refunding your shareware registration fee is a pain!

INSTALLING THE PROGRAM
To install the program, navigate to File Manager (for Windows 3.1 machines) or Windows Explorer (for Win95 and Win98) and doubleclick on one of the following files: diamond.exe (if you downloaded the EZ Download file, 16-bit version), diamond32.exe (if you downloaded the EZ Download file, 32-bit version), diamond.zip (if you downloaded the entire program with documentation, 16-bit), diamond32.zip (if you downloaded the entire program with documentation, 32-bit).

TO UNINSTALL THE PROGRAM
For Windows 3.1 users, you will find an uninstall icon in the program group created by Diamond Scheduler. 

For Windows95 and 98 users, go to the Control Panel and choose Add/Remove Programs. You will find Diamond Scheduler listed. Doubleclick on the program name and the program will be uninstalled from your computer.

BUG REPORTS OR SUGGESTED ENHANCEMENTS
If you find any bugs in the program or if you have any enhancements you would like to see in the next version, please feel free to email me at jhall@cactusware.com

REDISTRIBUTION
You are free to redistribute the diamond.zip file to any location as long as the readme.txt file has not been removed.
