Hi lbj,

I believe those are the Angle Percentage Points from the original Pace Calculator manual. I wrote that back in '97, and haven't looked at it in years, so my memory is foggy on what was on the screen. Sorry.

Randy

I know people that still use the old DOS version of AODDS, hard to believe it's 15 years old (I still know people that use the old Energy, and that's like 20 years old).

Just today, opening day at Belmont WHPro hit the 6th race exacta & triple cold $131.50 & $617.00 respectively, I had the winner & a $5 exacta, yes it was another good day for me & WHPro. Still, the biggest ticket I ever cashed was a $4K trifecta back in 2005 that I cobbled together using AOdds. Randy, it appears that both your programs have stood the test of time.

Hi Randy, what is the reason that you can't pick the results into aodds98 at the Oaktree meet.

There is no problem putting in the results at SAX meets, but at the Oaktree meet Osax it does not work.

Yeah that change happened after the support stopped. I am not sure what the issue is, and have never checked into it (as I stopped making changes to the software). Sorry.

Randy

Very nice! There are several users that report using both apps to get contenders or selections. They seem to work well together.

Emilio,

It has to do with the program's failure to recognize the 3 digit code "OSA". There is a file in Super Gold named AODDSTRK.ALL If you open the file with an editor and add the track code, the results should save properly for the Oak Tree Meet. If you decide to add the track code, be sure to add to the total at the top of the file as that is the total number of codes in the file. I also had to add CNL and PID over the years.

If you decide to modify, back up the original file first, in case there is a problem.

Jim

Hi Jim,

Would you also need to update the Tracks.ini file too?

Joe.

Joe,

To my knowledge, there is no such file in Aodds Super Gold. As memory serves me, the file you refer to is in Work Horse Pro. And yes, I have updated that one before as well.

Yes, AODDSTRK.ALL is for the old AODDS55 DOS version, Tracks.INI is for the Windows version.

One thing to note is the track abbreviation has to match the result abbreviation, so if the result is OSA the file would also have to be OSA (the program only does three letters). So if the file is SAX and the result is OSA, they wouldn't match. So keep that in mind too.

Randy
