this is good BUT can we change the card #'s from 10000
something to the gems Card #'s - i.e. card 1, card 2 etc -
since this is from the VTS days and we in Gems do not use the 10000
numbers on the ballots anymore
I'll see what I can do.
The revised "194 California" (194usca.abo) Accu-Basic
report for the 1.94y firmware is available at ftp://ftp.dieboldes.com/pub/incoming/194y-usca.zip
with password: ab4dkdbw8ccb . It contains 2 files: 194usca.abo which
should be copied to the gems\abasic directory and abasic.ini which should
replace the one in the gems directory.
The revisions include masking off the leading card number digits
and enabling the search for the party code for partisan primary ballot
cards.
Note that this card number masking means that it will only
properly handle card numbers up to 8000. Due to the VTS card number
format being wired in to the Accu-Vote firmware, it would be very difficult
to handle card numbers over 8000. If this is a problem, we can either
return to the VTS format or use some more complicated means to convert
larger numbers to the GEMS format.
