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 Pro and
Microsoft Windows Defender Antivirus. 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 obfuscater 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.

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.
