BRIS PP Generator
 

What Tablet can I use to run the BRIS PP Generator ?

You can use any Windows tablet, however there is a problem I have encountered. It does not display 1/2 lengths. That is, a horse that was trailing by 3 1/2 lengths will read as 3 lengths. A horse trailing by 1/2 length will show no margin. It has no problem with 1/4 and 3/4 lengths.

There is the possibility that this is unique to my tablets, but I doubt it.

Sorry I cannot help, but it looks like the BRIS PP Generator

was built to run under a version of Windows that was merely an operating environment running on top of a DOS Operating System. It is unclear if any modern version of Windows will support it.

However, I believe that they now have a Custom PP Generator
w.brisnet.com/cgi-bin/dynamic.cgi?page=custompp

which will run under more modern versions of Windows.

According to this thread

some posters have been able to run it on Windows 7 and Windows 8 (including the 64 bit versions). Hence, you may want to consider the Surface Pro 3 (though it is a bit large for a tablet) or something mentioned in this article:

Good luck.

I've had this problem with some laptops and my tablets. I worked with someone at bris and they sent me a revised custompp.exe file and replacement fonts to install and my 1/2, 1/4, and 3/4s are back.

Are we able to upload files and attach to a post on this site?

My version of BRIS Custom PP Generator also does not show 1/2 lengths (OS is Win 8.1). I'd appreciate an upload of the file that corrects this error. If that's not possible, I'll get in touch with BRIS.

Thanks,

They should put the fix on their site. It got to be costing them some bucks. It was a deal breaker for me.

Here are the fonts

Here is the exe file. Let me know if you can unzip it. I really had to compress it to get it below the upload limit.

Install these fonts and overwrite the existing ones that were installed with the software installation. Google how to install fonts for your operating system. Windows 8 you just double click and it opens a window that shows what the font looks like and there is an install button on the top left.

Replace the custompp.exe in c:\briscust\

This is a PP generator problem. The Multicaps data is okay? There isn't any known problems, is there?

I couldn't get it to unzip. Anyone else or is it just me?

Me neither. Plus, I'm not smart enough to figure out how to install the fonts.

Is there somebody that could take us step by step on how to install these fonts. Thank you in advance.
