Jim Thats fine its your program I'm just a customer, but it does seem to me that after the switchlist is printed that train is closed and out working if I...
Hi Don, I have to agree with Jim. The switchlist is only telling you that those cars are extra (additional) cars that are scheduled for that train. If you...
Andy Its not the extras I am complaining about. Its the fact that pickups already listed in the train and printed on the switch list and may have already been...
... If the pickups are already listed on a switchlist, this is a problem. They need to be picked up by that train. Extras are a different animal. I had a...

I guess I have not be very clear on a number of issues. 1) I am *not* going to limit the flexibility of the program. We have some veeerrryy advanced users...
Don, ... Yes, this is true. But it is not "fatal". The whole philosophy of the program is that "MisSteaks Happen" "Report 'em, no big deal". This is, I...
Hi Don and All, I was also very confused when I first started using the program for regular op sessions. I was under the assumption that the program told me...

The only difference with tonight's Update 260, has to do with checking which ASD ports are available when entering signal block data..... A mighty subtle ...
That's actually a VERY good idea! I was thinking the other night that the program should tell you about duplicate siding names/numbers when entering data as I...
