Make yourself a BAT file to do it...The exact lines you use to do it
manually, can be put in the bat file.  Just add a menu to it...Type HELP
at DOS prompt and you can get instructions on how to make the menu, as
well as all the other commands!!!

Hope you had a MErry Christmas Jimmy,,,

  I'm looking for the car swap utility, so I can run the different cars.dat
files (trucks, late models, 80's, and "normal").  I have tried almost every
site I can think of, but to no avail.

  Help...!!!

Here is a magic trick that is more simple than any third party utilities on
the Internet.  In your Nascar2/cars folder, here is what you do .  Take the
exemple with two cars.dat files (one for trucks and the original one).

1. Zip the truck cars.dat file.
2. Zip the original cars.dat file.
3. If you want the truck cars, just unzip your compressed truck file.
4. Overwrite the old file.
5. Bingo.

Well it looks hard for Joe Public but its an easy 1-2 step.  I have
6cars.dat compressed file in my cars folder, and if I want any of them, I
just click 2times on it.  Thanks a lot,

You should turn to:

http://members.aol.com/olindo/igntruck/download.htm

Which is the download page of the Internet Grand National Truck
Series. The last item on the page is a .DAT swapper which is most
likely what you're looking for. You'll also need some VB4 .DLL files
for running this, and they too can be downloaded from this page.

Three cheers for Chris Lund of Sealsoft for developing these goodies
and John Kurilec for making them available for everyone.
