Ed I was trying to make sense of your humor. Couldn't figure it out.
Thought it might have been a response about RVP?<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span

thru 409 are just identifiers that are used as the key to the class /
schedule data, it just happen to be the AMA class / schedule numbers.
Go figure. You can make those identifiers anything you want, at Contest
Setup it asks you to “Name” the classes. You can also assign any
schedule to any class in your contest. The way the system works today
is that by default it assigns the AMA / FAI schedules in effect as of
the date of the contest. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; color: rgb(31, 73, 125); font-size: 11pt;">Currently
the key to the schedules is the ID mentioned above and the schedule
effective date. You can create a new schedule without deleting the AMA
schedule by simply assigning a different effective date and then change
the schedule assigned to the class in Contest Setup. Part of the
upgrade will be to add and Organization identifier, ie. AMA, SPA,
GBRCAA, MAAC, etc.. in addition then it can default to the schedule in
effect for that organization but still allow you to select and assign
any schedule. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; color: rgb(31, 73, 125); font-size: 11pt;">Every
release of PACSS has included a file conversion program that converts
the existing user data to whatever that new file format is. It is my
intent to do that this time also. I will do everything I can to
preserve any custom data. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

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?<br>
<br>
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.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Happy New Year, Gene!!!<br>
<br>
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?<br>
<br>
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...<br>

All PACSS Users,<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated <br>
