I've written a simple application to read the RollOfHonour and reveal all the additinoal information that you can't normally see.
You can now discover how many medals you acquired over and above 8.
You can see the information on the top 30 commanders (not just the 13 you see on the spalsh screen of CM).

Its a DOS application, only 32k in size. Download it from (the bottom of)

PS: Thanks to Styro for the idea.

Anybody who is thinking of playing with your RollOfHonour.dat file be very careful, I may have just lost mine. Not from vieweing it, thats harmless (though be smart and only view it when CM isn't running too). I renamed it so I could create a new RollOfHonor.dat file and ensure my app worked with partially empty ROH.dat files. Then I tried to switch back to the original and CM says "Oh, No, Thats not the ROH.dat file I saw last, I'm not playing with that old file".
Ummm. Now if I can't figure out how it knows the old ROH.dat file isn't the latest one I've lost all my lovely scores (well I've still got them but they'll not appear on my CM anymore).
BE WARNED

PS: Sean, Help? (Or laugh at me and say I had it coming, I've three machines and I had to try it all on the same one).

It doesn't work on my computer. I ran it and it says "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC.NT. The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications. Choose 'Close' to terminate the application."

I have an app written in java that does the same thing. I sent it to Sean to approve and add to his web site but I haven't seen it on the CM page yet or heard back from him. Anyway, I don't have a page to host it but if anyone is interested in trying it because the DOS app above does not work for them or whatever, I can email it to you (it is 19K). There are still a couple of tweaks I am going to be making to it (it does not show rank yet, for example) but it is fully working and can export your pilots out to a text file.

Legacy,
I have no objection to you making a Windows ROH viewer.

Styro,
I would be interested in the Java app, please email it to me at

What would people like in a windows viewer for the RoH?

So far I've come up with the following:
Plain Text Output(to keep track of your RoH if you want to start over for some reason)

Sort Order(Sort by different attributes)

Printable custom lists of stats(Based on sort order and selection)

Anything else people want to see?

Sorry for hijacking your thread BZA, I like your viewer, but for windows games I want a windows viewer(not to say I don't love DOS with all my heart... yes, DOS, my first love).
