Amended for disc load by Simon Irwin 22/12/1997

Note:

This is the cassette version of the game. It is supplied as a zipped ARCHIVE
format (.INF files etc.) as the original, and will run as such using the
Devenport emulator which uses archive format directly and keeps PAGE at &E00.

I have converted it to run from DFS as well, and a disk image is also
supplied. There are 2 issues with this...

a) As each of the 2 courses has 18 holes, the whole lot doesn't fit on a
   standard 32 file catlog disk image, and I have used the Watford DFS1.44
   double-size catalog format, so you need a compatible DFS to read it.

b) As I make calls direct to the DFS ROM I need to know which slot it
   occupies. As shipped, my disk image assumes BASIC to be ROM 15, and the
   DFS to be ROM zero. This works as is for the BeebEM DOS, and BeebWin
   emulators. To use another emulator, run the program SETUP having altered
   the first few lines of code to reflect your actual ROM numbers for BASIC
   and your DFS. Then press F1 to save the patched versions of Trp1 and Trp2.
   This of course assumes your emulator can write to disk images. If not,
   you'll have to figure some other means of patching Trp1 and Trp2. The
   SETUP program will at least show you where the patches are needed.

Please also Note: For some reason I've yet to fathom ( timing of multi-
                  threads under Win32 I guess, the thing won't work after
                  hole One if you use BEEBEM v.08 - the wind goes hurricane )
