The file  Lottery.00Dec07.I.b.tar.gz (9th release) is the Intel release.  
The file Lottery.00Jun21.N.b.tar.gz  (8th release) is the NeXT release.
I had to release it in separate files because I have compiling errors which prevent
me from releasing it quad-fat. I will release it quad-fat if I can get it debugged.

The files are located in ftp://ftp.next.peak.org/pub/next/apps/misc/


The software lets a user maintain a database of lottery numbers.

Features:

		 supports most current lottery formats

                 database management

                 analysis functions

                 import/export databases (Ascii text files)

                 spinning number wheel


New features & modifications:

- no significant new features in this release, basically a re-compile for Intel.

- ** NOTE ** : if you have old database files from black hardware that you want to use,
  you may have to dump them to an ascii text file , then load the ascii text file to the new platform.
- re-worked startup initialization to allow for "zero" loaded databases.
- default databases are no longer automatically copied and loaded on startup.
- added a menu item under File to load default databases which are included with the software.

The following databases from Ontario, Canada are included:
(649,49,645,747,Keno,Pick3,Winner Take All & old 639). 

Only the compiled binary is provided. Source code is not available.
