DriveR8Convert Utility
DriveR8Convert is a utility program for use with
the DriveR8 Control Program.
The DriveR8Convert
software is currently Freeware.
Current Release
Information
Note! I check all my software before uploading with Malwarebytes
and Microsoft Security Essentials. In addition I use
VirusTotal.com to
confirm as they have over 60 scanner engines. Despite these
actions
you may find that your software will flag my software because I use a
source protection obfuscator which confuses it. Please report to
me
via Email any cases where you find any issue with downloading my
software. When I receive such reports I download
myself and
revalidate. I then contact the anti virus software vendor with a
false
positive report. It can take them 48 hours or longer to
process and
update their definitions. Meanwhile you can also use
VirusTotal.com
for yourself and decide if you want to create an exception in your
software.

note! I rely on bug reports to ensure that my software does not
disappointed new and existing users alike. So please let me know

Thanks to Everyone
Just a "top note" to say thanks to everyone using my program.

IMPORTANTLY those bugs (silly or large) that people care to tell me
about are getting fixed. So

Utility Program
The Program is currently Freeware (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freeware)
and is fully operational with no limitations. The author
reserves the right to change the program
status and limitations on any future release. Existing releases
will
retain their status and your right to use them but support may not be
available.
DriveR8Convert enables DriveR8 Control Program
users to take CSV files (like the free web CSV files from
RadioReference.com) and convert them to DriveR8 Control Program format
files. For any CSV file you can create and save a profile for
future use. With a little bit of luck this utility will enable
you to create DriveR8 format files from all your favourite other CSV
format data files.
By providing DriveR8Convert as a separate program as opposed to
integrating CSV file import into the DriveR8 Control Program I hope to:
- not destabilise DriveR8
- have a utility that I can develope as a companion to the DriveR8
Control Program
DriveR8 written in Visual Basic and .NET
V3.5. The program is currently portable and will run from any
"user" directory it is placed in. It also currently makes no
registry
changes or
any other system changes, no required network connections etc. so is
benign in
nature and operation and protects your privacy. If a Windows
system directory, like Program Files, is chosen then administrator
rights will have to be assigned to the program. For security
reasons it is suggested/recommended that a User directory is chosen.
The program also makes no hidden calls home and will not automatically
check for
program updates.

Software
and Hardware Requirements
The programs is written in .NET Visual Basic (V3.5) as a portable
applications that has no install program and does not make Windows
Registry changes.. This means that
basically it will only run on a Windows PC that has .NET V.35
installed. I've not researched the Linux and Apple platforms to
see if they can support .NET based applications. If they do and
you can get this program to work on any other platform, e.g. Linux and
under Wine then please let me know and I will put the details here for
others to see.
