Do you ever find yourself missing the old Basic?
It lacks the glitz of today's programing tools, but you could do something on a lark. I've hired someone to do a program that I could have written in gutter basic.

No, don't miss BASIC. The problem is that there's much more to code than simple equations like second call + speed + beaten lengths, or whatever.

No date whatsoever.
I am very disappointed about this.

I might get my pace analysis finished before you after all. Coding just love it.

I still use BASIC sometimes.
I do. It's the only language I know how to program.
I often wished I could find a simple windows/mac programmable gui that I could write the code for. I have an idea that would make playing the races a lot easier for the race book crowd who get their data from the form or simulcast book.
Thought it thru for a long time and I know just what it would need to do.
But it's never gonna happen I guess. Mainly because I'm very happy with the software I'm using now and I'm not looking back and I'm not going to put any effort into something like that. I'm sure it would sell well.

Basic should do well. I'd output your data to CSV files and upload the data into an Excel spreadsheet for analysis.

Thanx Punteray. I'll check it out. I see that Dave likes. If he likes it, it must be worth checking out.

Ranger, it is a LOT of money.
I think I got it on sale for around $1,200.

That's crazy. There are lots of open system free software available.

Not like this.
What ever you want to do is already built for you.
FTP? There's an example.
Email? Already done.
How about a complete contact management system?
I can tell you that the one I have used for so many decades cost me about $5k to get far less functionality.
Such is the price for professional-grade tools.
