... and 091, which is bad enough. Adding a 4th 081 special version with significant differences and a lot of stuff missing just doesn't bear thinking about! regards, Martin. posted: 8 Nov 2008 16:25 from: Alan Turner Martin Wynne wrote: we currently have 3 versions on the go, 074, 082 and 091, which is bad enough. I would go along with Paul, don't jump in so early. See what develops. As regards the above isn't it time to do a Microsoft and put a deadline to 074 and 082 and say no more support after such and such a date? After all it's not as if there is any extra cost of upgrading, unlike Microsoft? Alan posted: 8 Nov 2008 16:32 from: JFS Some interesting philosophical musings.... Martin, I think your user-support is excellent and you have helped me out several times. Having read what you said about the irregular diamonds code being 5 years old however, almost makes me wish I had not distracted you. I ...
... messages can be dismissed for the rest of the session after appearing once. The problem is that Templot is a recreational program. It's not like business software which you use every day. You might go 3 months without using Templot, and then need it to produce some templates. After that time it's very easy to forget how things work, which settings you have changed, and which messages you have dismissed. Please don't compare Templot with programs where productivity is important. Templot is for recreation and hobby use. There isn't a deadline to meet and no need to rush. What's a few extra clicks when most of your time in Templot is spent pondering the screen, referring to books and drawings, doodling on the back of an envelope, chewing the end of your pencil, and making another coffee? regards, Martin. posted: 16 Mar 2008 23:49 from: Martin Wynne Brian Lewis wrote: All these emails criticizing his 'bloatware' front end.

... topic: 1340 Admin: nothing more from me for a while posted: 17 Jan 2011 17:40 from: Martin Wynne Dear all, On 7th February it will be 3 years since version 091c of Templot was released. That's far too long between upgrades. Although I never quote a deadline, I had mentally set that as a target to get the next Pug released. That is only 3 weeks away, so there is now little chance of meeting it. But I don't want to let it drag on too far beyond then. The only way to have any chance is to stop doing any user support for a while. For example I have done no coding for several days because all my Templot time has been taken up with user support. So I won't be posting any more replies here for a while, or answering support emails. I hope I can rely on established members to help any beginner questions. Even then I may have to temporarily remove some of the unfinished new features I have been working on. There will also ...
... align things, however, on occasions I do get caught out when I just overdo it a tad with the zoom and background image still in view. Also I find I sometimes need to redo the positioning of track-work, particularly in very tight areas due to not being able to initially zoom in to place the items absolutely in the correct positions, thus resulting in infringements on clearances, particularly adjacent track. Also of course it slows things down quite a lot, but then I'm not galloping off to meet any particular deadlines! I thank you investigating this problem in detail, it appears unless NVIDIA does something about their chipset nothing will change, or we will all have to use ATI cards! As I mentioned before, I have a new PC on the go which is used at the moment for only graphics work, however, will have to add Templot (for which I need another licence) and see what happens. But first I will check what chipset is on board for the graphics card (I hope it's not NVIDIA !! ...
... geometry. Alan posted: 16 Jul 2013 09:48 from: Matt M. Indeed it does. The layout receded into the distance while I learnt about the various phases of NSWGR plate laying. Often people seem to expect to understand both the program and the the complications of track work in an unrealistic time frame. "I've just bought Templot, next week I'll finish the layout". I think set track hs a bit to do with this... And they quit too fast as well. Possibly the unrealistic deadline. Don't take it personally Martin.

Everyone who I have encountered who claimed not to understand Templot also had no knowledge of surveying principles of curve design or track geometry.

Curved Switch selected Lead length to heel 136 inches Offset at the heel 7 inches Switch radius 1152 inches Stock rail joint to toe 37.5 inches Length of switch rail 202 inches Length of stock rail from joint 380 inches. But when I click on OK I get the message panel with ''Fail code 98'' I am hoping that this has been caused by inputting an incorrect value rather than a limitation. Any help would be welcome as we have our exhibition at the beginning of October, nothing like a deadline to raise the blood pressure. regards, Keith Johnson posted: 26 Aug 2014 21:06 from: Martin Wynne Hi Keith, There are some sample 0n30 templates for downloading here: topic 28 regards, Martin.

... a removable sub-panel) and ballast it first. That would make ballasting a lot easier, and there would be no need to remove the webs between the timbers, they could be ballasted over. Given the smallish size of the typical printer platen a complex formation would need to be assembled from several sections of timbering base, so a sub-panel of some kind would be needed to create a one-piece finished unit. Bad luck with your printer. Hope you can get it fixed in time for your Christmas deadline. cheers, Martin. posted: 23 Nov 2018 16:32 from: John Lewis Hi Andy, You mean you can't buy one board and then print another?! :- )) One day, perhaps (doubtful).

... sticking to the conventional Delphi style of camel case and spaces around operators. I couldn't get on with either of those, or with not having the thens and elses equally indented. Likewise begins and ends. I soon developed my own style, and have stuck with it unchanged for all these years. Camel case for Delphi's own identifiers, and lower case with underscores for my own. A useful distinction: I stuck with the Delphi style and fairly verbose naming principally because there were times when I was debugging code up against tight deadlines and I didn't want to use other styles which might have been OK at the time, but didn't help months later when I had forgotten about them. Our work normally came in about 1am and if a problem cropped up in use, I had to debug and re-write code to get the work on the van at 7am. So the last thing I wanted was "what the hell did I do there" moments. The worst night was when we got our first NTSC job and no one warned us beforehand ...
... 3D-jigsaws in an instant; assuming you can find all of the pieces. Whilst a sharp scalpel can be used to pare away small amounts of excess material I would recommend a fine saw for the major cuts and files for subsequent cleaning up. I try not to give timescales since life has a habit of getting in the way! The 1:12 common crossing chairs will be the next to be done as they're needed for Love Lane which will be appearing at the NEC in November -- a timescale and a deadline! These will then form the basis of the other common crossings (" just change a couple of dimensions" said one of the team!). In reality the A switch has taken nearly 18 months and the B, C& D just 4 months so I am getting faster!

... social clubs offer temporary membership to holidaymakers Last edited on 3 Sep 2018 17:26 by Hayfield posted: 6 Sep 2018 11:41 from: Stephen Freeman Just to point out that EMGS sold Exactoscale products before but are now showing out of stock for most if not all items. It will be interesting to see what prices they come back at, especially as the TO still owes me a bag of S1s. Not that I am desperate for them as I managed to get a decent quantity from C&L before the deadline. I am out of some items but I can wait for them. It's a pity I can't get to ExpoEM as the car is needed for other duties (even if it's not too far) otherwise I'd be quizzing him about developments. No C&L on the list of traders though.

... 3333 Photos, PRIZES and fresh air posted: 27 Sep 2018 15:33 from: rodney_hills G'd Afternoon all from sunny Surrey. Are you a photographer? There seem to be quite a few, looking through topic: "Fresh air and photos" topic 3228 Could your photo win you a prize? You have until next Monday, 1st Oct 2018 to submit you entry. That gives you all weekend to look through those piccys that you already took, OR/AND take that winning picture. If you don't make the deadline in 2018, apparently the competition runs EVERY September... I'm guessing that that may be because Heritage Open Weekend is also every September. Anyway, look here: http://www.wikilovesmonuments.org.uk/ SOME. railway subjects are eligible, see eg http://www.wikilovesmonuments.org.uk/tips-for-photographers Check the Rules carefully Good luck!

I realise this is optional in Pascal, and I sometimes use both forms. But I think the =True form is clearer, and certainly makes for faster reading when skimming through the code to check the program flow. I agree it makes more sense to leave off the =True in a case such as if ...
