[Scan-DC] Andy's Trunker Files: AA, Mo, Ho Counties

Mon, 09 Dec 2002 23:49:43 -0500

Dewey,

Actually, I used to love TrunkerDM, until I went to set up my files to look all pretty tonight.  I found that this program is more than a little buggy!

When selecting mass color changes the program frequently gets mixed up and inputs the wrong color decimal code, and gets confused between blink and normal.

I found it would crash with a runtime #22 error when trying to manually correct the color errors!

Plus, other stuff I have a feeling is corrupted, but I don't think I've found it yet.

Tonight's little project turned into a 6 hour project, b/c I realized that for some reason I'd lost some data saved from Trunker, then imported to TrunkerDM, then exported back out and imported back in again.  Recently saved Radio ID's and Talkgroups mysteriously just weren't there.  So much for that program!

If you choose help from the menu, it does specifically say, "Do NOT Distribute until program is out of BETA test."  I can see their point.  I won't post it.

Andy
