[NSRCA-discussion] Program for generating Aresti Sequences

[Verne Koester]

Marty,
Don't know for sure, but I suspect the guy at the terminal just copies and
pastes them in place from the FAI catalog. That's what I do when I'm
creating unknowns for Andrew. It goes pretty quick. The tougher part is
making everything flow together and remembering what you used in the
previous schedules so the current one uses different maneuvers. If there IS
an actual program, I'm aware of four callers that would love a copy to
expedite getting our team ready for the World's.

I'm pretty sure the program exists.

I think I saw the output from it when I was at the NATS
in 2007.

I believe the program was written by someone in coordination
with Dave Guerin, the NATS director.

He's the man to talk to.

It was a beautiful program.  Someone sat at the terminal
and entered the maneuvers as each one was picked.  A printout
was available within seconds of finishing the schedule.

I think I remember Dave saying how much he valued the program.

That's my story and I'm stickin' to it.
