I have heard of such programs available for 80x86 clones. I am glad you decided to write one for the Amiga! While you did not ask for it, let me say that I would like these features: 1) flexible to allow recording a variety of different events, and then let you do queries based on event names or dates. 2) Allow for different record formats for different sports. 3) Provide for group/club data entry under member names, so that members can be compared. 4) Charts/Graphs so users can look at their performance over time. Graphs of Performance Actual vs Performance Goals? Season 1 vs Season 2 performance? 5) Import/Export delimited or SDF fixed format text files. Import/Export Lotus123 and Dbase files would be nice. You might consider posting a 'crippled' version that only handles some example data. Posting it to the archives at ab20, hubcap, and mars would be a good start. Posting it to comp-sys-amiga-binaries would be even better (does this still exist after the re-organization?). Postings to Compuserve, Genie, Delphi, etc would be easiest done by a friend with accounts thier, but the other option is writing them to find out their policies first. Don't forget local BBS's. I don't know how much it costs, but you should consider posting ads in the back of Bicycling Mag, Bicycle Guide, Runners Mag , and Sports Medicine. They have a readership larger than you would expect. +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Dennis Gorrie 'Have you hugged your chain-saw today?' | |gorriede@max.cc.uregina.ca | |gorrie@meena.cc.uregina.ca | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
