What is Oscar? A replacement to SH?

What is Oscar? A replacement to SH?
I only have gone into sleepyhead once, about 4 or 5 months ago, but now I'm seeing references to Oscar. Is it the same thing? I did a search, but couldn't find an exact post explaining it......  Should I be downloading it now? And if so, where is the link?  Does it show the same type of information? Why the change?

Sorry for all the questions, but trying to get to the bottom of my leaks and continued tiredness. 

Thanks!!

RE: What is Oscar? A replacement to Sleepyhead?
OSCAR is the Open Source CPAP Analysis Reporter, and is a branch off of the now discontinued Sleepyhead project. The developers are a group of programmers and CPAP users that use a private forum on Apnea Board. The program continues to be free to all and open source. As time goes on, it will gain more features and better programming, but for now very closely resembles the former Sleepyhead 1.1.0.

Thanks - didn't see that. (and wouldn't have known what it was at first, if I had) :Smile

So, should I uninstall sleepyhead? Is the information that it gives the same?

No, you can have both. OSCAR searches for SleepyHead and will import your data if it finds it.

Keep SleepyHead for awhile, at least until you have OSCAR downloaded and set up.

Follow the instructions exactly. It will ask you if you want to migrate your SH data to OSCAR.
It is a good idea to migrate your data from SH, as it will not let you go back and do it later without the hassle of uninstalling and starting over.

I still have SH and OSCAR on my computer. I like to compare.

If you have problems or questions with the installation of OSCAR, post in the Software Support Forum.

Actually you can copy your old Sleepyhead data without having to reinstall Oscar. But it's easier to do it during the initial installation.
