Anyone know the purpose of the 2 files, and a fix for the editrpy
problem?
I'm still wondering why each car set has a drivers.txt and
drivers2.txt file?
: I'm still wondering why each car set has a drivers.txt and

If I remember correctly, the drivers.txt file is there in case something
happens to the drivers2.txt file. The program will default to the
drivers.txt file if it has trouble with the other one.

There is a new version of Editrpy (version 3.1) which fixes this problem
and a number of others (in particular the inoperative scroll bar).
You can get the new version at:

I think the purpose was so that you could modify your drivers2.txt
file, but leave the drivers.txt alone. Then if anything went wrong
you just delete drivers2.txt and the game keeps working.

Hey Mike:
I've just started to really get into using Editrpy 3.0, and I just
wanted to say a big THANK YOU for creating the program. I've been
using the utility that allows you to superimpose two replays on top of
each other, and by using one of my laps combined with one of the
really hot laps from Surfer's Paradise, I have managed to lower my lap
times dramatically just by analyzing where I was losing so much time.
I'm sure that as I play with the program a bit more I'll find some
other really helpful goodies, but for now I'm very impressed with how
much it has helped to improve my driving. Just wanted to let you know
your work is appreciated!

Thanks for the kind words.
You really should upgrade to v3.3 (available by anon ftp at
didnt.doit.wisc.edu
or at
http://www.millcomm.com/~corrigan/editrpy.html
v3.0 had a number of embarassing bugs.

Another bug! I just had another bug pointed out to me tonight
that I have now fixed. This bug only occurred if you got the
message "position > track len". After that message showed up,
unpredictable crashes could occur. This is now fixed in v3.4.
As a bonus, I've added a feature to the Race Report which will
show time behind the leader as each car finishes a lap.
As before, you can get v3.4 at
