Well my original thinking was that "I can do this myself. No need to pay for something I can figure out."
Well, it turns out that I couldn't do it.....not within the next 5 years or so anyway.....so being a guy and needing everything "right now", I finally did end up buying some stuff (Sniper Delta Force) after trying to get ahold of Bill for his. Unfortunately, PHP was having the same email problems that they are still having and none of my correspondence went through so I ended up with Delta Farce.
However, knowing what I know now about the binary structuring and addressing, there is no possible way that I would have been able to figure out any of my own definitions because I would have had no clue as to how much stuff I actually would have needed to find to get where I am now.
Minotaur wasn't available to the public when I started and unfortunately I have ended up spending an extra $6,000 on something I can't use except for the chip burning function....so I have a $6K chip burning application now that is really inconvenient to use. Phoenix Flash doesn't work with the chips that are coded for my Sniper vendor (David Lott) so I have to make a calibration in Minotaur, save it, open it in Delta Force, save it, THEN finally burn it to the chip. It's a real PITA and one of these days I'll just buy a burner from Bill and start using his coded chips. It's really inconvenient to have duplicates of EVERY flippin' program on this computer.
