South African Jockey Colourset program

Written in VB5.

This program was developed to easily design coloursets for jockeys, i.e. the colours and patterns of the clothes they wear during a race. There are laterally thousands of combinations of coloursets that can be made using just a a few colours and a few patterns. There are also certain rules that must be applied when designing a set. There should also be checked for duplications, even sets that may look the same from a distance should be detected as duplicates.

A database holds all the colourset specification. In fact, al the information to reconstruct a colourset are in the colourset database. The patterns are stored as Enhanced Metafiles (emf) and are loaded, layered, and filled with a specific colours when viewed. The colourset application is therefore totally customizable for any other application where sets must be designed form a repository of colours and patterns.
