Per,

Interesting .NL site.  Needed to download program "RACER" on the page, 
but could not connect to site link:

http://www.racer.nl/

However it is written in Linux "source code", and needs various file 
decompressors ("tar")  and other computer specialist code operations.  
There is a note that you "May be able to get it to work for Windows/Mac"

"There have been misunderstandings about the source code in the past 
time. This project is NOT Open Source. The source code IS and will 
REMAIN for the oncoming time copyright (c) of Ruud van Gaal / Dolphinity 
BV. The source code is provided for general interest, and to build 
platform-specific versions (for Linux mainly) in case the provided 
binaries don't work.

All suggested changes to the source code will be reviewed by me, but 
before you do that, realise that the source code will remain 
copyrighted. Fixes are appreciated of course, but I would advise against 
putting much into bigger things."


Another version,  (previous site page, released "18-01-04" was "pulled" 
because of their server overload (apparently works on-line, not 
locally).  Promise more fully polished code when available.

Thanks for the "heads-up", and I will Bookmark the site and check to see 
if they have released a friendlier version.
