53.0. "Anybody out there?" by MPGS::FERNANDEZ (Do you believe in VAMPIRES?) Sat Apr 23 1988 01:05


	Am I the only person that ever checks this board? I am beginning
to think that this whole thing is dead.

53.1A lot of people out there!MILRAT::WALLACESat Apr 23 1988 03:1554
Begging your pardon, we may not be as busy as the PC notes file but this
notes file is definitly being used.  If you disagree just take a look at
the list bellow, which is a list of people who wrote notes/replies in
the last 7 days.  There were a total of 77 notes/replies written by 35
people in the last 7 days. I wouldn't call that DEAD.  It is MUCH better
than when the notes file was Belgium.

Also there is no indication as too how many people READ the notes file
only how many write notes/replies.  Which is why no one can assume that
since you have only written one note in the past seven days that you do
not "check this board" frequently. :-)

This note may sound more harsh than I intend it to be, thus the smiley
face :-).

You may be suffering from a problem that I had for a while.  When Steph
created the new conference, I did a MODIFY ENTRY /FILE to make my old
NOTES entry point to the new file.  The result was that no matter how
many new notes were entered, NOTES at my end thought that I had already
seen them - of course, I'd seen everything up to note number 700 or so!
NOTES had no idea that a new file was created, so indicated that I had
already seen all of these low-numbered notes.  I had to do a DELETE
ENTRY ATARIST, exit and reenter notes, and do a new ADD ENTRY
MAY14::ATARIST, at which point the whole new conference came up unseen,
and I was happy again.

53.4I'm insane, or Notes is strangeISTG::ENGHOLMLarry EngholmMon Apr 25 1988 21:077
    I had an experience similar to the first part of Jeff's.  I modified my
    old ATARIST to use the new file, and everything was seen, since it had
    the old seen map.  So I renamed ATARIST to OLDATARIST and did "add
    entry may14::atarist".  But there were still no unseen notes.  So I
    deleted ATARIST and added it again.  Still no unseen notes.  It's a
    mystery. I did a "set seen/before=1-jan-1900" or something.

	Thanks everybody. I deleted the entry and put it back in. Now I am
back in full force.

    Hi All,
    
    	I had the same trouble and solved it by deleteing the old entry
    and updateing my notebook then I ran the following command procedure,
    which incidentaly reduced my notebook from 300 blocks to 33 blocks.
    
    	:-
$! NOTEFILE_CONVERT.COM
$! P1 is the name of the conference or notebook file.
$! @NOTEFILE_CONVERT NOTES$NOTEBOOK.NOTE
$!
$ fdl = f$parse(f$envi("default")+".fdl",p1)
$ analyze /rms /fdl 'p1 /output='fdl
$ edit /fdl /analysis='fdl /nointeractive 'fdl /output='fdl
$ convert /fdl='fdl 'p1 'p1 /statistics
    
    I hope this will solve many notebook problems
    
    	John

No Larry, you aren't insane.  I had the same thing happen to me.  My
solution was to delete the old entry.  Exit Notes.  Re-enter Notes, and
add the new entry.  If I didn't exit and-re-enter, NOTES remembered the
unseen data for me.  I figured it was a "feature".
