POST PROCESS PROGRAM
The post process program is written utilizing the Borland Paradox Runtime Software.
This software utilizes the Borland Database Engine (BDE) and automatically handles use of
the databases by the Drag Race Program and Post Process Program if calls to the databases
are made simultaneously. This program allows you to print various reports and view screens
while fully utilizing Windows capabilities. You can open several files in the Post Process
Program at the same time and jump from each of these programs to the Drag Race Program
while races are in progress. It is a very robust program of which no reports of system hanging
or malfunction have been reported to Portatree. The system supports Windows Networking
and handles network traffic very efficiently.
