This is a pools forecast program relying on "an affinity between numbers" to predict score draw results and not upon "team form" fed in by user each week (a saving of a least 1.5 hours). A databank of scoredraw results from the league seasons from 1976/77 to early 1983/84 is incorporated into the program, which aims at producing the 18 most likely score draw numbers based on your selection of options of choice of favourite numbers.

The first screen asks for surname - failure to enter this means the program will not run. It has been error-trapped with 'break' disabled and hard copies can be obtained.

A menu offers priority table, auto, random, special, banker (own number), random, special, other and none. Having selected how the priority table is to be created, you press 'F' or 'S' for processing. Your numbers are compared with the databank and in 'S' mode the program displays each of 18 scoredraw numbers generated, while 'F' displays them at the end of processing.

Naigram would enjoy 10% of any pools winnings and offers winners next two updates free of charge.

At £13, I think I'll stick to using a pin.
