Marc: We never did get an answer to weither the Hand Held would work or not. I assume it won't. He is going to try a different DCS100. Note that he is not at...
Keith, If it does turn out to be the DCS-100, before you send it back to Digitrax, check the battery. How old is the command station? If 6 or 7 years, and...

Hey ho Bob, Hmmm ... I add my black background image, it appears in the upper left hand corner and fills an area 600 x 600. I right click and a window pops up...
Hi All, and Program Developers, I am starting to have concerns that the Panel Pro program may be going to get too big. As I monitor this group and the...
Elmer, Do you mean too big or too complex? The amount of space that JMRI takes on your disk drive is pretty reasonable. The main program "jmri.jar" is only...
IMHO -- JMRI is not literally too big. Even with my relatively low-speed DSL it takes but a minute or two to download so there seems little to gain by removing...
Marc and Walt We are going to try the hand held tonight on a different setup with the DCS 100. We also had tried both direct and paged. Should know more...
Its a new DCS 100, but will check the beeps on start up tonight. Only change from factory setting on the DCS100 was to extend the short delay to 1/2 for the...
Hi, I agree with Elmer's suggestion. Things that are available and installed, but aren't used are ballast. And nowadays on computers we have a lot of ballast. ...
... I have the same concerns, but from a developer perspective. Fortunately, they are - at this point - minor concerns. Those "unneeded-to-you" features being...
... <SNIP> Hi Elmer, I've just made a quick analysis of the typical files that would normally be installed with JMRI - it made for interesting reading. These...
Is it possible to make a copy of my loco roster. When I try, it says it is protected. I would like to save the roster in case the hard drive crashes. Chuck,...
Funny this thought also crossed my mind again this week and this year.. Getting big are'nt you... Now I'm talking about JMRI folks. This was discussed last...
What makes anyone think (by today's standards) that JMRI is too big?? As said over half of it is help pages and decoder files. If you are perfect, I'd guess...
Elmer and all other members of this group, As one of the "original" users of PanelPro, I truly believe we have finally reached what is known as "feature creep"...
Friends, One small clarification on my post. Program "size" is irrelevant, hard drive space is cheap today. Program complexity is what I believe is the...
I routinely makeup a backup copy of the roster files. If your getting a protected message I think it has to be something with your computer. Let everyone know...
Hi Nick, That's how I feel. All I wanted was to be able to program a decoder through DP without having to use my Cab and enter each CV individually (as in...
Hi, From Matt's analysis below, it appears that the single biggest factor of the JMRI 'bloat' are all those new help files. The second biggest 'problem' is...

Nick, Responses below. ... If you look at modern systems, they're all interlinked. Dispatchers can pull up a train ID and see exactly what cars are in that...
I toyed around with my DCS50 today. 308 is the decoder is not shooting back any acknowlegement. 301 is no decoder present. Having no loco on the track will...
Another suggestion, remove battery mentionned before to really reset the command station. I've found that OPSW 39 reset is great but it can miss some issues. ...
Hi Nick, ... Let's not think of this as a CC&WB system, but as an operations system. ... There is at least one case where an operations system IS deeply ...
Nick, ... I completely agree with you that a CC/WB program has nothing to do with JMRI. However the operations program is a real time system using PanelPro...
On Thu, Oct 1, 2009 at 7:05 PM, James Koretsky ... This is the reason I feel (mildly, at this point) that JMRI is getting too big. Don't get me wrong - I...
