Put the drf file in the "data" subfolder within the "horse" folder. On your C drive it will look like C:\horse\data

B,

Didn't know you are in Orange. I graduated from Vidor High back in '67. Used to go through West Orange on the way to the Louisiana border to buy booze, they'd sell to you if you were tall enough to put the money on the counter.

Yeah, I heard some pretty wild things about DeD in the past. Some "pretty strange" happenings there. Well, you know how "dem cajuns is".

Ever hear of the Boogie Kings band? Mid to late 60's, right over the border, great band, great times.

Isosa54, I believe I have that set up right, but it won't expand the file in the golden horse program. The drf file is in the data sub-folder but won't expand. I must be doing something wrong? any other ideas? Boulder

Boulder,

You have to unzip the file first. You can not go from zip mode directly into the program. I did not install an unzip utility in the program.

Well, I don't know what kind of king. My understanding is that he lived north of town and could be seen nightly, sitting on his porch, chun-king his empty beer cans out in the street.

No you can't actually use the "/" or "\"character in the name of the folder. When showing a folder path it is customary to use the \ character to indicate the start of folders/subfolders. So, C:\horse\data\ means a folder named "data" created inside a folder named "horse" located on the root of C: (the C drive).

Bighit,

You should have just one folder named C:\horse then as subfolders to that would be data results and CSV



so you would have C:\horse and branching off of that would be the three subfolders.

Hope that makes it clearer.

Big Hit,

If I were going to create these folders/subfolders, this is how I would do it:

On the desktop, right click an empty area, select "New", select "Folder", name the folder "Horse". Repeat the whole process to create 3 more folders named "Data", "Results", and "CSV". Then left click and hold each of the last 3 folders, dragging each one into the "Horse" folder. Then right click "Start", select "Explore", then find your hard drive ("C" drive) in the Explore window, then size, or move, the window so you can see the "Horse" folder on your desktop, left click and hold "Horse" folder, then drag it to your "C" drive.
