For all those with GH, this is how you would proceed to add a P3 or P4 game of your choice. I have to presume those that have GH know how it works.
Adding a new game can be tricky, it took me several attempts to find the correct method of installing data to make it work. I did this installation about 9 years ago. In Ontario the P4 just came out in February 2006, so not much data is there yet, it would take another years' worth of draws to read better. I have been able to add other game 'types' for P3 and P4 such as; front pair, back pair, 3 number total and P1, P2, P3, P4 -3/4 positional games.
The BIG thing to be aware of is this. If you attempt to relate data from various game 'types' as noted above, the STARTING DATE of the real draws, not the one you entered in the 'Game History' , has to be the same. Once you work with it and think how you want to set up a game to extract certain data for the next draw, it becomes useful and addictive to the point to call it a HOOT!
So here it is folks and good luck. BTW, you will still require the use of pen and paper. That for another day.
Load GH>hit 1 to bring up the 'History Files Available' screen>highlight any game you see in the list>hit F4 to add a NEW GAME>enter a new game name in the BOX that pops up>hit enter to make it so>another board pops up called 'Game History' [this is the data screen to add the game parameters-line for line to make P3 viable in the whole program of Board types]>choose a Game Name>hit enter [it must be different than the one you made at the beginning-perhaps your State or Province name][add the following data and hit the enter key after each line]>draw size:1>Bonus numbers drawn:0>Bet size:1>Auto-Sort Drawings:Y>00 is a valid number:Y>Ball Set Usage:Not Used>hit the enter key 4 times to get to the Starting Draw Date>enter a fictional day/month/year [I set mine to 01/01/1958][it can be any date you can think of but in the format of D/M/Y]>Total Numbers Used:10>hit F3 to save the data. That's it.
Now look for the NEW P3 Game you named in the 'History Files Available' screen that just popped up and load it.
Proceed to 'BOARD 2' >F2>F6 and load the P3 numbers in a vertical line. Add the draw numbers 1 at a time and hit the 'tab' key to get to the next line.
BTW, you have to add the dates also from the first one shown, the 'daily' dates will automatically follow after about a weeks worth of input, the program has to know the time interval of the game you are adding data for>hit F10 to save the draw input data at any time. Add your daily draws from now on.
As I mentioned earlier, these dates do not mean a thing to the P3 Game you are loading data into...its just a starting point for the program to accept P3 data. BUT 'YOU' will note the date that you started to add the numbers, as I said at least 3 years worth, so start your input data on January 1, 2000, 2001, 2002, or 2003, that sort of thing, because if you want to add more earlier P3 draws you do not want to duplicate your work and wonder where on earth you started.
I will come back to this thread in few days to show you how to read the data on some of the Boards in the GH Program or answer any Q's. This is a DOS program, don't be afraid of it.
All the best and start loading those past draws.
