Question re loading data in older Sartin programs

A user writes:
"I need some help. I cannot get a race to load into my old Sartin programs. I have a number of old Sartin programs including Matchup (MATCH.EXE) and Phase 111 (PHASE3.EXE includes Brun30.EXE). I have them in a folder C:\hrace. I exported, from RDSS, a race file EV072401.RAC. My operating system is Windows XP. When I open either program and select #2 "Load A File From Disk" the program moves to the next screen that ask to enter: "Name of File To Load". I then enter the race number and hit "enter".....rather than load the race file it removes the race number that I have entered. Actually it does the same thing with other programs KGEN,EXDC,SYNTHESIS ETC.
I have downloaded TameDos and I'm still getting the same results. My question is:

WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND I DO TO GET THE PROGRAM TO LOAD THE RACE FILE?"
I have tested the export to older Sartin software (e.g. in a RAC format file) in EXDC, KGEN, Thoromation (and a few flavours of these), but not others. Only the 3 call format is supported (so not SKGEN - Super KGEN, or any 4 call Thoromations, or Synthesis).

When asked for the file name (for example, AP 08/06 race #2), enter AP080602 and the file loads (in those programs which handle that file format). Don't just enter the race number, enter the file name (minus the RAC ending).

I tested this in KGEN today, with this exported file:

AP080602.zip

Here was my screen:

Name:  kgen.gif

Any DOS environment where these older programs load and you can enter data by hand will also load the RDSS export file (if they load files at all). Give it a try and let us know.

Hope this helps!

Ted

Sure Mike, it's been on my list for a while. If the next major release (later Autumn) doesn't include it, feel free to bug me!
