One for the archives.
I tried putting DVP filenames into SSB message memories using
stdcfg.dat. Works FB.
I then tried putting different DVP filenames into the same SSB message
memories using an Input Config File, expecting the new filenames to
overwrite the ones from stdcfg.dat. They didn't. Other items from the
same Input Config File were loaded properly so the Input Config File was
being read by TR.
Yes, the Input Config File = statement was placed after the contest =
statement in logcfg.dat.
Anyway, a strange anomaly that cost me a couple of hours of head scratching.
Moral - Don't program SSB messages from stdcfg.dat if you want to
overwrite them with an Input Config File.
Why would I want to do this? It's part of a Grand Unification Project
for all my TR contests. When I'm happy with it I'll publish it for the
few anal-retentives like me who are interested in such things.
Would I like to see this fixed? Not really. It's a very minor issue as
far as I'm concerned.
Hope this helps someone sometime.
