The AutoX software interface to the JAC system works quite well, doesn't
seem to be a database limit. It lets you enter all you want into the
database (we have everybody that holds a permanent number and all visitors
that have shown up so far). When you print or display results/standings it
only shows/lists those that have received times. Operator interface is
basically only car number as they are staged and cone/dnf/rerun (single key
entry for car that just finished). On screen display has a section for the
announcer and for the operator. The author will even customize it to some
extent and you can get a demo disk to test it out. Sorry don't have his
address handy.
