If I would have entered 72.8 it might have worked correctly.
I believe the second call is formatted in this way, just as the first call is, and may have a problem the other way. Correct me if I'm wrong.
I also think the program is formatted for 10ths as opposed to 5ths.
Despite my doubts the program gave me 2 seconds and a $21.00 +
winner in the 7th race. This was out of 4 races.
Just think what it will do using the correct format.
Yesterday was my first try with it. I hate to type.
With Syn 2 I use Speedplus to convert the lines and this issue does not come into play. There is no typing. My converted lines are adjusted for pars and variants and then put into Syn 2
Everything else is automatic.
SYN 2 will take a 9.5 furlong race - Syn 4 won't
I will say that Syn 4 has more read-outs to look at and is slightly more impressive to look at.

Part's it's all good. The only thing that matters is the results at the mutual window. I e-mailed Bob Purdy asking the same question. Here for the most part is his reply. I see it does put 112.88 instead of 112.80. If I enter 72.8 it will look like 72..8. I take all of your observations seriously, and your input is always welcome since you are one of the innovative thinkers on this board.

Hi Mike,
If memory serves me right (it's been a long time since I wrote version IV), the 3 Year Best times are used to make the Track to Track adjustments.
I also seem to remember that the times were entered in 5ths because at that time, the DRF did not publish the times in 10ths.
Continued good success with the program.
Kindest regards,
Bob Purdy
