Subj: Kurle2 Date: 96-03-03 16:46:27 EST From: (John Blinn) To: (Dennis E Spanogle) Dennis--Thanks for the replies. I've corrected your address to the above and hope this gets to you quicker. In answer to your various questions, I would be happy for you to use me as a "testimonial" for Kurle2 and would also be happy to answer "some" questions if prospective users ask you what present users' think of the program. It's terrific and I'll add more below about another wrinkle that has made my use of it even more important AND better! ....The "new way" I'm using Kurle2 is a refinement of what I told you about earlier (setting up .KRZ subdirectories of "anacomps", "analeads", "anapads", "bass", etc and then making an Excel spreadsheet with 4 columns of "Name", "Type", "Remarks" and "Location" containing all of the programs. As I said before, the Excel spreadsheet was for the limited purpose of searching my .KRZ subdirectories (by name, type, remark, etc) but thinking through how I could refine it (since after I found a patch I wanted to hear in the Excel list, I then had to load from 1 of 22 .KRZ files, which was cumbersome.) The new wrinkle was to run off the Excel spreadsheet twice, first sorted by name and then by type and then combine all 22 subdirectories (using "Dup to other") to create 2 master .KRZ files, the first with programs named "A" to "M" and the second for "N" to "Z". Thus for the approximately 1550 programs in these 2 files (A LOT!!), all I have to do is look to one of 2 files and as I've excluded samples from these files, they are small enough (396k and 343k) to easily fit on a single floppy (altho I keep them on my SCSI drive accessible by the K2000.) I do still have several other Kurle2-developed .KRZ files with another 200+ programs which do contain samples, etc. But the system is working very well. ... Note from Dennis. The above is all possible because Kurle2 will print K2000 directory lists to a file (import to Excel) and Kurle2 can sort K2000 object directories in many ways. Check out the demonstration.
