I would like to see the powers numbers and speed points that BRIS has and Trackmaster doesn't.

Additionally I look forward to the conversion of files to the older Sartin Programs and or AOdds.
Parts,

Thanks for the report about MNR and RDSS! The tool makes a great partner to an astute handicapper.

Unfortunately, while I have an exclusive contract with TrackMaster/Equibase, I will not be able offer import of BRIS Past Performance or Results data, or any other data vendor for that matter. That was a business decision I made, for better or for worse, and I must say I can see TrackMaster's point of view on this given the upfront programming they are putting into the custom RDSS PP files, PP-linked historical Charts, Daily Result Chart integration and the intra-day real-time access to Equibase's Quick Result product. Should that change, I'll certainly publicize it!

Quirin Speed Points are a public domain calculation (with a few flavours) and I have plans to add that to RDSS.

I have added export to Energy II, and I have the file structures (which you provided to me) for Synergism IV and other older software. I will probably do Syn IV next, then others by popular demand.

Looking forward to hearing more commentary about your RDSS usage!

yours,

Ted
