Turfbar....It is the (.EXE) files, I believe....

.exe is the ones you want, but isn't PP generator BRIS?
I didn't know TM had a PP program.

They don't just wondering if I could download files from TRackmaster for the BRIS program or is that an exclusive product?

I’m guessing exclusive, because even the BRIS & TSN PP generators won’t work with each other's files.

Here is the link for the TM pp software:
http://www.trackmaster.com/track/info/tsoft.htm?trk32

It uses the .exe file which also powers other software apps like Validator/Speculator

There are three different programs it looks like. NO software activation fee and a single file is $3.75. Unlimited cost is $150 pr month or $1000 pr year. I like the feel of this software better than formulator and will need to spend a couple of weeks to inspect all of the features and info. There is alot of cool stuff in the data as well as an export feature that I haven't clicked on yet.

Is anyone else using any of these programs by trackmaster? Any reviews, tips or performance results would be great to read here.Say Rich, would you happen to have a list of other software that uses these files< besides the ones you mentioned?

If you really like the PP Generator, you could manipulate any data file to put it in the format that it uses. It's not that it's exclusive to BRIS; it just uses a certain file format.

I hate to admit my ignorance but would you be so kind to show or tell me how that is done. TIA

TurfbarNo problem. The easiest way (more visual) is to open up the bris file you are opening in a spreadsheet, and then replace with data that you want instead of the bris data. So for example, you wanted to use your own proprietary class rating number instead of their number. You could just open the spreadsheet and replace their class ratings with yours. Also, you cold put it in a different field and show both. I think in pp generator (if I remember correctly), you can choose what fields you want to show.

Once you have figured out the exact format you want, then you could create a macro that pulls your data out of one sheet and puts in in the file or format you want.

Hope that makes sense.

Oops, I put PP generator up top when I meant spreadsheet. Sorry. Edited.

Just rename your file .drf
