THE TENNIS PROGRAM
I was asked by the Phoenix Tennis Club in Colchester to write a program that would produce a draw for an American tennis tournament for any given range of Ladies and Gentlemen Players, courts in use, and rounds to be played.
The program runs under DOS and outputs a text file which can then be edited with any word processor.

An example output for 8 men and 5, 6 and 7 ladies being:-
