about

did not

here's

>
> 1) One person from each group downloads a list of all names in
the OP.
> 2) That person deletes every name that IS NOT from his/her home
group.
> 3) That person then adds the name of the group at the top of
the file
> and renames it.
> 4) That person emails the renamed file to me.
> 5) After a day or two, that person then downloads the current
OP text
> file and deletes all the groups except his or her own.
>
> That's it.
>
>
> On the OP web site, found at:
> http://www.ansteorra.org/regnum/heralds/op/
> are instructions on how to do this, along with two files:
> AllNames.txt and Branch_Ops.txt.  These are ndicated by the
icons
> "How to Update", "All Names" and "Branch OP."
>
> Be sure to read the instructions and follow them exactly. Since
it is
> an automated procedure, you must follow the instructions to the
> letter or it won't work.
>
> The amount of time you spend on this will run from 20 or 30
minutes
> for a small group to 4 hours for a group the size of Stargate.
But
> once you have done it, you never have to do it again.  Just add
any
> new people who join or move into your group.  Then download the
> awards file from time to time and delete all the groups but
your own.
>
> You can click on the Branch OP icon to see what the final
results
> look like.  I entered 3 names from Namron and all of
Wiesenfeuer to
> test it before I released the first version.  Lord Griffin ap
Rhys,
> our Asterisk Herald, was kind enough to process the huge number
of
> names from Stargate.  Thank you, Lord Griffin.
>
> The final file is a text file suitable for placing in a word
> processor, spreadsheet, page layout program, or web layout
program.
> Let me know if you have any difficulties.
