                              Pools Predictor 

                           � Archimedes World 1995


Intro:
          This program will allow you to pick any permutation of numbers for
          example 8 from 16 etc etc.. All you have to do is tell the
          program how many numbers are required.


How To Use:


          Simply load !Pools in the normal Risc OS manner, now select the
          !Pools icon from the desktop icon bar. A window will be displayed
          showing 58 numbers, the amount on any pools coupon. To set the
          pools program into operation move the mouse pointer to the beige
          coloured icon and select it. A caret will appear in that icon, now
          just type in a number of your choice and press the return key. The
          numbers will automaticaly be generated for you, if at any point
          you wish to change the numbers or the amount to generate just type
          in a new figure. 

Sort:
          Sort allows the numbers to be put in numerical order thus saving
          time looking up and down the coupon for the numbers already
          generated...


          It's as simple as that.... Good luck.....
