[NSRCA-discussion] PACSS Upgrade

Tue Jan 5 08:54:41 AKST 2010

Phil,

There is no difference from the "AMA" version to the "SPA" version, I just
did all of those thing I just mentioned. I made it a little easier by
getting rid of the AMA schedules. So other that changing data and a few
minor tweaks so that is says "SPA", the two "systems" are the same.

Actually, Gene is correct -- we can maintain our SPA schedules in the SPA
version of PACSS.  I had forgotten, and was remembering trying to enter SPA
maneuvers into the 401-409 categories of the original version of
AMA-PACSS...

Gene,
The Schedule Maintenance appears to allow only schedules between 401 and
409. Doesn't this mean you need to replace the current AMA/FAI schedules in
order to set up for SPA or a foreign county. Wouldn't you lose your modified
schedules with a PACSS update?

I think what Phil is suggesting is an external text file that can be used to
input the schedules  for any contest, foreign or domestic. If you provide
the layout, there are plenty of folks around the world that would keep their
version up to date and send you the file for inclusion in updates.

Here's the url for the current British patterns:

You CAN add / maintain your own schedules.  "System Maintenance" tab,
"Schedules" button.

Happy New Year, Gene!!!

The SPA schedule will remain the same for 2010.  We will probably change it
for 2011-2012.  If we do, I'll send the new patterns to you.  How 'bout just
making an app to let us update the schedules ourselves.  Would that be too
much work for you, or would it reduce your work every couple of years?

We sure do appreciate the work you do on PACSS!!!  I believe it is THE
scoring program for SPA, at least here in the Southeast...

All PACSS Users,

I am in the process of making a number modifications to PACSS. One of the
changes is to make the use of "foreign", other than AMA / FAI, schedules
easier to use. In order to do this I need to know what are the Organizations
and associated schedules that are being used today. I have the SPA and
Canadian schedules from last year but don't know if they are changing in
2010 so updated schedules from those two organizations would be helpful.

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated
