  REPLAY  ANALYZER  evaluates  your replay  files  from Brderbund's Stunts or
  Mindscape's 4D Sports Driving.

  It   displays	 a  statistic  about  your  keypresses	during	a  race,  e.g.
  accelerate,  brake,  steer  left,  steer right,  ...	So  you	 can draw your
  conclusions about the driving style from these figures.

  Usage: RA [Drive:][Path]<InFile>

    InFile  = Replay file name with optional path

  The  "InFile"  parameter  is a standard 8.3  DOS  file name with an optional
  preceeding "Drive:\Path". "InFile" describes the replay file, where you need
  a statistic from.

  Because there are 2 different formats for replay files REPLAY ANALYZER tries
  to  detect which format your replay file has. We have found a good method to
  do  this  job but it's not 100%  foolproof. So if REPLAY ANALYZER detects an
  unknown format, please contact us for a bug-fixed version.

  After	 a successful detection REPLAY ANALYZER	 reads the whole keyboard data
  stuff into a large buffer and processes this data.

  Finally,  REPLAY ANALYZER displays a statistic  for the replay file similiar
  to this:

    REPLAY ANALYZER Version 1.01
    Copyright (C) 1997-1998 BTTR Software

    New replay file format detected.
    Compatible with Stunts (FEB-12-91) and 4D Sports Driving (FEB-25-91).

    Accelerate	 687 times
    Brake	 135 times
    Right	  59 times
    Left	 157 times
    Shift up	   0 times
    Shift down	   0 times

    <Nothing>	  74 times
    <Unknown>	   0 times

  As  you can see, the driver used the automatic shifting mode (Shift up/Shift
  down = 0) and the track seems to go counter-clockwise (Left > Right).

  "<Nothing>"  means  that the driver took  his/her hands from the keyboard 74
  times and let the car just roll down the track.

  "<Unknown>" should be zero all the time. If it's not, please send the replay
  file to our e-mail address.
