That was much better. It closed in about 12-15 seconds.

Hurrah! I think we may have identified the problem. Fingers crossed,
hoping the file works okay on Maria's machine too. Thanks much for
helping me test out my theories.

Do we get to know your theory? Please.

Good thinking, Susan!
I didn't try to help with the .hjt file, as I always only download and
use the .csv file (sorting!).
It's about time I thank you much for this great service for us
dialuppers! And to thank honyakusha for his nice contributions of late!

 

[Susan Bugher]

Do we get to know your theory? Please.

Yup. I did post the theory up-thread a ways - quoted below:

"I'm thinking *maybe* it's because there are roughly 4000 subnodes under
one node. The 2004-12-11.hjt apps are grouped under alphabetical
subnodes (A, B, C etc.)"

(The most recent .hjt file also uses alphabetical subnodes vs. one node
with all 4000 apps as subnodes.)

Actually. . . I believe I'm ACF's *expert* on ways to break programs.
Been there, done that a number of times. . . My "finest hour" was
when I managed to break STRUDL (this was in the 70s I think) - turned
out there was a limit the programmers had forgotten about (put in when
they were testing a routine) - many many moons later I was the first to
exceed it.

YW.

And to thank honyakusha for his nice contributions of late!

Second that.

Thanks, Susan. I don't use the program so I was unsure if that was the
problem.

Wow, you're going a long way back there.
But it shows again that you're a genius! *bg*

Whenever you make something idiot proof they build a better idiot.

Sorry, Susan. I actually stand in awe of your achievements.

Yup - and my previous forays into the realm of "we never thought
anyone would do *that* with our program" make it easier for me to
recognize the symptoms when I've done it again.

Thank you Susan, just love these files...particularly when little or
no time to keep up with the group ... only lurking from time to time,
enjoying, cheering and routing

All the best,

Hi Bjorn,

Thanks for those kind words. I'd like to update the files more
frequently but keep getting sidetracked. . . New files coming RSN.
