quantity of the film's fencing. Major actors and occasionally the
director (denoted by a '!') are named. Films with 2 stars or less
have been omitted, as have recent films that have not yet been

3.7 Fencing Software
There are numerous software packages available for the
administration of fencing tournaments. They generally provide for
automated seeding, pooling, and elimination tableau organization,
with the ability to display/print out intermediate and final
results. They are best suited for events with 15 to 250 or more
entrants. With less than 15 entrants, organization is generally
just as fast by hand.
ATHOS is a French program (by Christian Coulon of Paris), although
the display and manuals are in French or English. ATHOS is widely
used at world levels of competition, including the 1993 and 1994
U-20 World Championships. It runs on DOS PCs. It is the only
official fencing software recognized by the CFF. In the USA, the
price is $250 (includes unlimited upgrades and support). Contact
Marc Walch (Marc.J.Walch@JPL.NASA.GOV, (818) 354 5688).
Engarde is another French program (by F. F. Nicaud of Paris), and
runs on Apple or PC. Like ATHOS, it sees extensive use at
international levels of competition, including the 1994 World
Championships. It is available in French only, and is freely
reproducible. Contact your national fencing organization for more
information.
Xseed is an American program (by Dan McCormick of Hudson, Ohio),
supported by the USFA only. It runs on DOS PCs. Contact the USFA
for more information.
Shipshape is a British program that runs on PCs. Contact Colin
Hillier at 3 Elm Close, Shipham, Somerset, BS25 1UG, UK, Tel: +44
(0) 1934 843984.
The Director is an Australian program for MS-Windows (3.1, 95).
Contact Powerbyte at 9/26 Stirling Street, Thebarton, South
Australia, Australia 5031, Tel: +61-8-8303 3519,
Fax: +61-8-8303 4363.
Fencomp 1.0 is a DOS program that is freely downloadable from
http://members.tripod.com/~swynerton.
Craig Lancaster is offering a Windows-based program for free
evaluation. Contact him at craigl@waverider.co.uk, or visit his
web page (http://www.waverider.co.uk/~craigl) for more info.
There are other programs that are more common in other countries
and languages, such as German and Italian. Contact the national
fencing organizations of such countries to find out more.
