Changes history + 9. License + +1. INTRODUCTION +=============== + +Analizator9000 is an application which offers a graphical user interface for +statistical analysis of the number of tricks to be taken in a bridge deal +generated upon certain conditions. + +The software constitutes an interface for Dealer software and part of BCalc +project: libbcalcDDS library. To find out more on these projects, please refer +to the "AUTHORS" section. + +2. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS +====================== + +Analizator9000 works within the .NET 3.5 Client Profile environment and as that +it requires a platfrom compatible with the .NET 3.5 framework. + +.NET 3.5 system requirements: + + * operating system: Windows XP/Vista/Server 2003/Server 2008/7/8 or newer + (Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 8 or newer + already provide .NET 3.5 with basic system installation) + * CPU: equivalence of Pentium 400MHz (minimum); Pentium 1GHz (recommended) + * memory: 96MB (minimmum); 256MB (recommended) + +Application-specific reqirements: + + * disaply: minumum resolution of 1024x600px; 16-bit colour + * free disk space: a minimum of 500MB (.NET 3.5) + 5MB (Analizator9000) + * additional free space: 1MB for full analysis per every thousand deals + +WARNING! + Using this application may require a substantial amount of resources +depending on the size of the commissioned task. Irresponsible runtime parameter +choice for deal generating/analysis may lead to recognizably long execution +time, to the limitation of application responding time or even to the limitation +of user's operating system usage experience. The author recommends a careful +choice of runtime parameters to ensure the recognition of application and system +performance capabilities. + +3. INSTALATION +============== + +The application is ready to use after unpacking it into a user's disk directory +of choice. + +The current version of the application is available from the project's homepage: + http://emkael.info/brydz/an9k/ + +After extraction, the software requires the existence of two directorys within +its working directory (provided within the archive): + + * bin/ directory - containing external software used by the analyzer + (lbcalcdds.dll file from the BCalc project, dealer.exe executable file + from project Dealer and cygwin1.dll library, required by Dealer) + * empty files/ directory - necessary for collecting application's output + files + +4. USER MANUAL +============== + +The description of usage, along with screenshots and examples, is available from +the project's homepage: + http://emkael.info/brydz/an9k/manual/ + +5. SOURCE CODE +============== + +Q: In which programming language is Analizator9000 written? +A: C#. + +Q: Can I see the source code? +A: Surely! + +Q: Where can I acquire it? +A: From the Subversion repository available at: + https://emkael.info/svn/an9k/ + +Q: Why do I keep getting the HTTPS certificate error while trying to retreive + the code? +A: Because I'm a cheap and lazy bastard and don't want to buy a proper SSL + certificate. Here's the server's fingerprint: + 7c:48:1d:9a:73:d0:e6:2d:36:10:4d:d0:dc:f6:da:96:fb:3a:33:c7 + +Q: But doesn't that mean that someone is able to spoof the source code server, + alter the fingerprint you've just provided with his own, and then substitute + the source code with his malicious one, which I'll later compile, run and my + computer will steal all my credit card's data, buys a lot of garbage on eBay + and explode in the exact moment I'll need it the most to print out my tax + form? +A: It does. What's more, this document is distributed through an unauthenticated + HTTP connection, so there's nothing stopping it from having already happened + and this question is just a decoy. + +Q: What's the environment you've used to create this software? +A: Microsoft Visual Studio/Visual C# 2010. + +Q: Can I ask you to write feature X into your software? +A: And I tell you, ask, and it will be given to you. + +P: I've written feature X into your source code. Can you add it to the your + release. +O: If it's sensible and I can comprehend its entire codebase without resorting + to alcoholic beverages stronger than 16-proof (US), I can't see why not. + +6.

SUPPORT AND CONTACT INFORMATION +================================== + +Bug reports, feature suggestions and all other general comments should be +addressed directly to the author, via electrionic means. +The easiest way to communicate with the author is his e-mail inbox: + emkael@tlen.pl +You can also visit ForumBridge.pl and drop a private message to the user mkl: + http://www.forumbridge.pl/private.php?do=newpm&u=360 +or find an appropriate thread and leave an entry in it. + +All reported bugs will be investigated and attempted to fix if only the author +will find some capabilities to do so. It's expected from the user to be able to +provide basic information on how to reproduce the error with a bug report or to +have a sufficient overall computer skills to be able to collect those at the +author's prompt and with his guidance. + +The author reserves the right to approach feature requests with any amount of +scepticism the author finds appropriate. + +If you find my software useful and would like to thank me for it, write me an +e-mail and let me know you've liked it. +If you'd like to alter it, incorporate into a bigger project or propose a use +for it any other than purely recreational analysis, feel from to do so, just let +me know. +If you need my help with that, let me know, we'll see what we can do. +If you achieved some interesting results or curious conclusions with my +software, feel free to let me know about them. +If you're unsure whether you should write to me in a matter even slightly +related to my software, write me an e-mail. I like e-mails. + +If you find my software useful enough to want to thank me in a material way, +you're in a bad luck. I don't take donations, and this software is fully free +and non-commercial. I do like a decent book and a good beer, though. + +8. CHANGES HISTORY +================== + +2012.11 - 0.9 + * initial version + +9.
