Thanks I'll check it out.

BTW: if anyone's good at Pascal and wants to have a crack at doing the
conversion from the Pascal source, a lot of US college & high school
sailing scorekeepers would be very greatful (well... at least I will:-).
Drop me a note off-list. Currently it only runs in DOS & it would be
pretty cool to put Ubuntu on a USB drive w/the scoring program that
could easily be plugged into a computer at each regatta.
