Aodds Gold 5.5
Was finally able to get Aodds 5.5 gold (dos version) installed on my Windows 98 machine. Also installed the Auto-Modeler, but am not sure what chart or result file from Bris should be downloaded. At the time the instructions were for downloading from a BBS type of system (DOS), this was before the internet. I tried different chart files and result files, but when running the converter the AOR file created has 0 bytes.
Perhaps the file format has changed since then. Anyhow got the rest to work, and it even seems to work in a DOS window. It is as Gary has said another good tool for matching up horses. I need to find the instructions that came with the auto-modeler module to see if I am trying to download the correct file. It has has the ability to manually enter the results also. It also has some unique readouts that according to the Aodds Gold Manual are suppossed to be powerful when used correctly. (Megachex and Superchex). Really a well written program. Kudo's to Jim and Randy on this one. |

Jeff, it does have a help file but the printed material that came with the auto-modeler went into more detail. I know I have it around somewhere I just have to find it. I am going to do as Richie suggested and try a different file type. I think the converter program that came with the modeler is looking for a fc or cht file extension. I tried renaming different result files I downloaded using these extensions. It sees them than when I mark them the conversion does nothing and gives me a 0 byte file. I am doing something wrong, and I will take Richie's suggestion and try the file he suggested to use. If that doesn't work I will show him a screenshot of the directory. Honestly Jeff, it has been so long since I used the modeling feature in this program I don't remember which result file I used from Bris. The only thing I can tell you for sure I downloaded thru BRIS using a communications program with the Z-Modem protocol. Since the internet things have gotten alot easier. |

On BRIS use the Flash Results in the zipped format. Import the result into Aodds. Use the File Maintenance screen to unzip. Then use the Add to database screen to add DRF and REsults to database. Gary |

I have to think the file structure has changed since this conversion program was written. Anyhow Aodds Gold is still usable, the only thing that is messed up is the DSLR (days since last race) which no longer calculates correctly. This probably has more to do with the Hat file I get from Bris. Thanks for your suggestions. |
