Hi Bob,

I know the the Battery Calc's can be done manually but I never did it
that way.  The SKST allows you to choose the panel and all of its
expanders, smoke models, heat models, pull stations, Horn Strobes,
etc. etc. and THEN it will generate a beautiful spread sheet of
the battery calc's.  Yea!!!

My current challenge is that I have lost the original file for this
project and now have to go back and find all the numbers and parts
to put into SKST along with the new for this upgrade.

I am getting closer now that I got the program working!!!

Call me Spoiled!!!

Later,

Les
