After reading Ted's post I believe he is right if someone is going to get RDSS you would be better off using the readouts from that program and just use
Syn export as a bonus feature

My conclusion to all of this is if your going to spend the money you are
better off using RDSS and all of it's wonderful features.


I feel Synergism 2 is best used by putting in raw data and using the
program as it was intended.Unless your doing a lot of tracks I really
dont get people's laziness not willing to put in their own pacelines. I
prefer this program as for someone who has difficulty interperting readouts
that there are only a few screens that have all the important info there.


If you really want to use Synergism with downloaded data there is
always Synergism VI as an option which I understand to be a very good program
with data supplied by HDW.

Ted, do you still plan on implementing the feature for the exporting of data for the Sartin 4 call programs?

Shoeless:

---------------------------------------------------------------
Why and how can you come to conclusions if you have never tried or tested RDSS with the Synergism II
conversion module?
I will tell you first hand that the combination of RDSS and Synergism II is awesome.
It works well for me.
The simplicity, performance and ease of interpretation of Synergism II
and RDSS should not even be compared to the the latest version of Synergism.
Its like comparing apples to oranges.
If you have a heavy pocket you might want to consider HDW data files. Be my guest.
If you have money to burn then go for it. See what you can achieve with it.
RDSS achieves superior results with Synergism and is a bargain at the price and in my opinion, will out perform anything out there. All you have to do is use your brain and figure it out. :confused: Oh well.......Hmmm

Parts,


Good continued luck with it

Last time I checked this was an open forum just giving an opinion
not saying it was the gospel. I will refrian from posting on this topic
anymore.

Jeff,

Please don't be offended by my questions.
How can you offer an opinion on something you haven't tried?
It's really not fair to Ted. He put a lot of work into it.

Your always free to offer an opinion on any subject but the opinion has to have credibility.

Dave,

Finding myself now engaged in the whole topic of exports to these various older file formats, perhaps now (or by the time I get it finished) is the time to add the 4 call exports to Thoro II, Super Kgen, etc (i.e. 'in for a penny, in for a pound' ...). When I get back from vacation mid Sept, I'll take another look at that and get back to you.

Thanks for the reminder, and hope you're doing well these days!

cheers,

Ted

Well, Ted, since you're in such an amenable mood, wouldn't it also be cool to cover all the bases and rig up an export to UltraPlus (later version of UltraScan)? That would not be a 4 call export, but 3 call, and might have to be tweaked a bit.

Had a nice chat today with Bill V and wanted to clear up a few things


What I was attempting to do was show how I use Syn 2 as taught to me
by Richie P and Bob Purdy. I was in no way trying to say that Bill V was
doing it wrong. He has the ability to pick out one line for a fulcrum which
many people cant do,the way I was showing was for people who cant.Also
I should not have put it in RDSS thread.


Suggesting Syn VI I thought this was the right thing to do giving Purdy
a mention since RDSS exports to his program.

I will no longer post in the RDSS thread as I do not use it currently.

someway
 

Thanks Jeff

I want to add that we owe Ted a great deal of thanks for getting us to
this point. Its not perfect but its a lot better than doing everything by hand
About that point, It is not a question of lazness, its a matter of acuracy. It is so easy to make a mistake entering lines by hand

I was metioning to Jeff today that maybe at some point
all the set up time calculations and entering yes or no to the
any shippers in this race question can still be done by hand ,
then at that point the lines could possibly be exported from RDSS,
We are in the process of seeing the value of this excellent velocity program
But to throw away Bill H. and I and Teds work just based on seeing a few races
worked before the fact and then when low price horses happen to win is a little hasty.
Perhaps working and testing can lead to a better syn 2 than what we have so far
I am sure it will prove to be worth Ted's efforts
