Smith, 19628 Via Monte Dr., Saratoga, CA 95070 Enclosures: DOS disk with this letter and 8 BBall programs. Dear Mike, I have updated my 8 BBall programs. This is the last update I plan to make. This disk is a complete replacement of the one I sent earlier. It includes my previous letter for documentation sake. For the new programs the inputs are: GL1 = Games Left to play, 1st place team GL2 = Games Left to play, 2nd place team GE = Games to play each other GA = Games ahead = 0, 0.5, ... The outputs are: MNT1 = Magic Number to tie for 1st place team MNW1 = Magic Number to win for 1st place team MNT2 = Magic Number to tie for 2nd place team MNW2 = Magic Number to win for 2nd place team P = Probability that 1st place team beats 2nd place team Q = Probability that 2nd place team beats 1st place team 1/Q = 1 / Probability that 2nd place team beats 1st place team Odds = P/Q : 1 (=1/Q - 1 : 1) The updated files are: BBallP.Pas BBallP.Exe : Pascal version BBallC.C BBallC.Exe : C version BBallCpp.Cpp BBallCpp.Exe : C++ version BBallCpW.Cpp BBallCpW.Exe : C++ for Windows version BBallQ.BAS BBallQ.Exe : QBASIC version BBallB.BAS BBallB.Exe : GWBASIC version BBallF.FOR BBallF.Exe : FORTRAN version BBallA.Pkg BBallA.Exe : ADA version Sincerely, Harry
