    I can see where this application would be a big help.. However, I have
yet to be able to use it..  I'll assume it's developed for Linux only(?)  I
can double click (win98) on the EXE but all I get is the dos help file.

You could try opening a DOS window and running the EXE there and then
reading the included text file how to use it. It's hard work to get anything
out of it, but it can be done :-)

Windows version coming up one of these days.. let's see if I can make it
before GPL 1.1 is out (no idea when) :-)

    You idiot mike!! hehe...  I just read the GPLDump.txt.  That makes a whole
lot more sense!  Now if I was smart enough to do that in the first place.....

Thanks Remco.

I do it this way:

From the dos prompt:
- make a replay in gpl from 1 lap, starting just before the s/f line,
and ending just after the s/f line
- copy the replay file to the directory where you put gpldump (for
example replay.rpy)

From a dos prompt type:
gpldump -fc -cs replay.rpy > test.txt

import test.txt in excel
delete all the columns except the first row (all other columns have a
zero value in it)
Now you only have one column. Delete the first rows until you
encounter a zero. This is the point where you crossed the s/f line, so
this is the start of the graphic.
Near the bottom of the column is also a zero. Delete all rows after
this zero. This is the second time you cross the s/f line, so the end
of the lap.

Now you can easily make a line diagram of this column in Excel using
the option Insert -> Graphic.

In the same way you can add a second column of another replay file,
make a graphic of both columns for a perfect comparrison between to
replays.

Read the readme file for more options.

Or.... Wait until Juha finished the Windows version  :)
