My son recently started using a MonRoi that I bought a few years ago. I noticed that for each game, the MonRoi device would generate 3 files. The .PGN file is the game notated in PGN format. I could not find out the purpose of the other two files, .TIM and .SIG... even after searching on the internet. After examining the files with a hexadecimal editor, I figured out that the .TIM file contains a timestamp (in seconds) for when each move is notated during the game. The .SIG file contains bitmaps for the signatures of the players and the arbiter.
I then wrote a Perl program to integrate the moves from the PGN file with the timestamp data so that I could better analyze how quickly my son was spending with his moves. Anyways, I thought that other chess players with MonRoi devices might find this program useful. Where would be the best place to share this program?
