I am working on other software things now and I don't really have the time, but a decent coder shouldn't have a problem doing it. It's possible that my scratch program (HDST) would work on the newly created single file, but that is not a guarantee. Most programs worked fine with the modified single file but not all were tested.

When we built it in 1996, we used the Microsoft Foxpro database program. We were never able to get that to work with the single data files, only the multi-file and the Trackmaster exe files. Over the years, we put so much work into it, tweaking it and upgrading it so it would run smoothly and adapt to distance chances better, etc., that it would be difficult to try and start all over and get it to produce the same ratings. And we like the ratings the way they are. It's just one of those things, we created it 25 years ago on Foxpro.

Now with Real Time and Power Pace, they don't rely on a database program, it's all coding and they don't even get installed, they just sit on your desktop.
