 Maximum String Score    - The maximum individual string score that can  be
                           entered into BowlStat. The default is set to 300
                           for Tenpin and Canlepin  leagues. For Five-pin ,
                           change this value to 450.


 Maximum High No Mark    - The maximum string score  that  can  be  entered
                           into BowlStat  for the High  No Mark award.  The
                           default is  set to 100 for  Canlepin leagues. If
                           this award does not apply, change the value to 0
                           and change the "Number  of HIGH NO MARKS" option
                           in the "Printout" default submenu to 0.


 Round Averages         -  The default setting of  "N" causes  BowlStat NOT
                           to round averages to the  nearest tenth of a pin
                           (actual).  If rounding  is desired,  change this
                           option to "Y".


 Save Club/Stats to Disk - The default setting of "N" will NOT allow 'Club'
                           scores or Yearly Statistics  (team or bowler) to
                           be   generated.  If   club  scores   and  yearly
                           statistics are  required, change this  option to
                           "Y".


 Nbr. Strings in Series  - BowlStat supports from  two to four  string  per
                           series total.  If necessary, change  the default
                           of "3" to the required value.


 Print Last, First Name  - The default setting  of "Y" causes  names to  be
                           displayed and printed as  LAST NAME, FIRST NAME.
                           To  reverse the  order (FIRST  LAST), change the
                           setting to "N".

 NOTES: To exit the General Options menu, press the 'ESC' (escape) key.

        If  any of  the above   settings have  been changed,  BowlStat will
        prompt if they should be saved.  To save the changes, press "Y" and
        the "Return" or  "Enter" key to the "SAVE  CHANGES? (Y/N):" prompt.
        Once saved, the setting(s) will be become effective immediately.
