All American SportsWare has been developing Youth Sports Management Solutions over the last 12 years, and in the process has developed a variety of tools to aid our own developers.
Some of these tools are now being made available to the developer community at large. These tools are free to be experimented with; however, if you want to distribute them you will need to purchase a distribution license.
WinPrint -- This is a powerful Print Preview utility. To use it, all you need to do is create a text file using the WinPrint language, then run winprint, giving it the name of the text file. WinPrint then shows it to your users in a print preview window with full zoom, page up, page down and mouse grabbing. The WinPrint language is loosely based on HTML with additions that make it ideal as a page layout language.
Golden Retriever -- Want an easy way to capture web page form data and pull it into a spreadsheet (Excel), database (Access, dBase, Foxpro, VFP), or any other Shrink Wrap or Custom Program? Then Golden Retriever is the Utility for you: Automatically or Interactively retrieve email responses from your webpage forms from any POP3 server (even filter by Subject!) and massage the data into a text file, or a comma delimited ascii file (in either of two formats). Excel and many other programs can easily open and work with the resultant file.
LAS Plugins: LACE -- Have a great idea for a tool to manage a youth sports organization, but just don't want to write a full league database manager? LACE is for You! Write your tool as a plugin and use it with your copy of League Administration Software, or even give it away or sell it so other Youth Sports Administrators can benefit!
Most of our development work has been in: Microsoft Visual Foxpro (v3, v5 & v6), Microsoft Visual Basic, Borland Delphi (v1.0 & v3.0), Foxpro for Dos (v2.6), and Borland Pascal, Most of our tools, however, are equally useful from any Wintel language.
