Update on the Kookie Jar signature program. As I got into it, I remember testing this some years ago. This is a far more sophisticated program than it was when I last looked at it. It is NOT intuitive.....or at least not after learning the SigMan <G> To me, Sigman is much easier to set up. Too many unusual terms in Kookie Jar. I have to learn the language before I can begin to run it. I just spend about three hours editing my signature file, cleaning it up. Too bad neither Sigman or Kookie Jar can import or use the signature file of the other program. The good news is that editing is far easier in Kookie Jar then it is in SigMan. Kookie Jar has a neat feature that will sort the signature alphabetically when you load it in the editor. That means you can find dups instantly (or near dups). Out of 1100 signatures, I found probably 100 dups. The actual editing was also much faster/easier in Kookie Jar. The file was due for a cleanup anyway. There are some quirks that I'm not sure about. In Sigman the random generator provides a new signature every few seconds. In KJ, it looks like the minimum time is one minute. That may be OK, but it sounds slow which "could" give dups if I do a couple of e-mails in a row quickly. There's some other quirks but I guess I'll figure it out. The signature file is done now....so I have to figure out how to make it work........<sigh> This is gunna be tough <chuckle> I think I'm getting too old for this! The good news is I'm listening to the oldies music channel on the satelite and I'm groovin' here <chuckle. At least groovin' as much as a 57 year old can groove while working on a computer <G> Regards from Bob -- the "Keyboard Cowboy", ,,,,,,,, Ô¿Ô¬ Cincinnati, Ohio Scottsdale, Arizona --------------------------------- Thursday, 3/10/2005, @ 11:47:12 PM EST --------------------------------- To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children...to leave the world a better place...to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.
