I've tried this utility, but nothing happens....   The Indy 500 I have is
on a 3.5 inch diskette.  I believe it's the Indy500 that the utility is
referring to.  It has a booklet where you have to answer the question about
Indy history etc.   nice game in it's time.
Anyway, I've copied it to my HD and ran the utility, giving it the path of
the game executables (not a "tracks") directory.   Nada....

Thanks

There are two Indy500 tracks.  One is the game itself, and another is an
add-on track for Indycar Racing.  You need the one for Indycar Racing.  From
what I can see from your question, you have the wrong one.

I think the converter in question is one that converts the Track Pack
for IndyCar Racing I Indianapolis Speedway addition.

I do not think it will work for the first real auto racing simulation
software for the home pc.
