ProCaps data file layout

[BrokeOutOfTheGate]

Hello ! I have been a lurker on this forum for quite sometime and finally decided it was time to hop into the fray.

I have been working on a system using ProCaps data files and manually inputting the data in myself ( a very time consuming process ).

I was just wondering if anyone had any knowledge they could share about the ProCaps data file layout so that I could read the files from my program ( it is a Visual Basic application ).

Thanks in advance and good luck to all.

A few things have been added.

BRIS Race Rating are now in fields 826-835

BRIS Class Rating are now in fields 836-845

Personally I do not use either rating.

Kind of looks to be the same as the BRIS single file format described here. (http://www.brisnet.com/cgi-bin/static.cgi?page=drfsff)

Procaps does not include...
