OK. I found the link to the blog with the help on how to create .erg files for CompuTrainer to go with Sufferfest videos:

Mike Berg´s tutorial is about using a CycleOps trainer, not a CompuTrainer. While Computrainer, without the capital T is not a well protected trade mark it used to be associated with a computer assisted sales training program. Nowadays if You gOOgle hits are almost exclusively taking You to sites/blogs/articles naming CompuTrainer. Me thinks it is better to describe the trainer by the name that is used by the maker in order not to arise doubt.
I have heard that there is someone that has made an Excel-file available that is free to use to make CoachingSoftware erg-workouts “to go with” Sufferfests assortment of rides. I´m still looking for it. If I find it I will post it here.
And yes, I am affiliated with CompuTrainer if You were wondering.

Hi PGS – I’m afraid I won’t be making any like that, but check out Mike Berg’s tutorial on using Sufferfest with Computrainer over at Cogsnob – http://www.thecyclenut.me/Cycle_Nuts/Journal/Entries/2009/12/29_Creating_a_Computrainer_Workout.html

Hi
will a Computrainer compatible version be available in the forseable future ?
