Previous visitors to this site will know that I offered some of my amateur software efforts for download. I have (July, 2017) decided to take the page down. This is because I found on one of my programs an intermittent bug which actually crashed the user's PC. It needed "Task Manager" to end the application task. I have real trouble with this bug, as it appears very rarely, most of the time the executable works fine. Very tricky to tie down.
I therefore have decided that the only files I will offer for download are the updater files to the Formula 1 Database. If you have downloaded software from this site, and have had no trouble with it, I guess you may as well keep using it. But remember, though I try my best, I do not offer any warranty that it will behave as described.

System Requirements
Unfortunately, I do not have any means of establishing the minimum hardware specification required to run my software. All I do know is the specification of my computer, on which the software was developed, tested and which runs satisfactorily.
Original Computer specification:
- Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit, upgraded to Windows 10 Home, version 1607, build 14393.187.
- Chillblast Radeon HD 5850 1024MB Graphics Card.
- 4GB PC3-12800 1600MHz DDR3 Memory.
- Asus P7P55D-E LX Motherboard with USB 3.0.
- Intel Core i7 875 Processor (2.93GHz) Overclocked to 3.8GHz.
- Asus Xonar DS 7.1 PCI Sound Card.
- Monitor: 1920 wide by 1080 high*.
In May, 2018, I purchased a new PC with a significantly upgraded specification:
- Windows 10 Home Premium 64-Bit, version 1709, build 16299.431.
- NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti 11GB Graphics Card.
- 32GB DDR4 2400MHz Memory.
- Asus Maximus X Hero Z370 Motherboard.
- Intel Core i7-8700K Coffee Lake CPU, 6 Cores, 3.7 - 4.7GHz
- Onboard High Definition Audio.
- Monitor: 2560 wide by 1440 high*.
* I have tried to design my software to present a smaller window size than my monitor permits, as I am concious that many people will have a smaller monitor than listed above. I will provide the maximum window size I use with each application's details.
If you use the software on a PC with a different set up, let me know if you have any issues with running the application, and if it works and you have the time, please let me know what your specification is. It should work on all flavours of Windows from SP, Win7 to Win10. I did have a lot of memory in my original set up - well, 4 GB was a lot in 2010!

I need to include something for this, but it won't be a miles long "Agreement" that you see with most software these days. "File(s)", "Software" and "Application" have the same meaning herein.
