SouthSideRob:


As a programmer SouthSideRob the way Sartin wrote will drive one nuts. Definitely not in a clear and concise manner. He also was adapt at improving things yet called it the same name. This prevented his hard work from being stolen as they never came up with the same figures he came up with. Turn Time as an example.


All this really has no bearing on one's game as they don't have to know what's in it to use it. Simply track different factors and see what works. Using all 3 Fr.'s is still of primary importance over just using two and increased the winner getting ability of Sartin later programs.


Brohamers book was state of the art at the time and still is the jumping off point for everything that came after. The 3 Fr's are the foundation for everything and are used in every program or factor that came along after his book.


The CPR formula in RDSS isn't the same as the original formula (TPR)which is widely known but why we have a TPR + E/L tab screen, I can't answer except to say probably tradition. On both screens the figures are the same and are CPR figures.


Some changes were hidden and some were disguised by a different way of displaying them. Such as FPS for different Fr's and later he used percentages or %, 55.63 FPS or 34.19 % in Energy of the whole. The measurement it self is exactly the same. Some understood % better than FPS but as part of the whole or Total Energy their the same.


Learn to drive the car and try not to become a mechanic. The car isn't broke and works, tinkering will just upset the timing of the engine and drive you to pull over in frustration waiting for a tow to arrive.



Enjoy the ride,
