Re: Re: What to do about multiple pcgs/collections of combis

Hi
  It might be useful to have a bank manager program. Our Karma EditPro has a phantom banks feature that lets you create your own bank(s) of programs and save to your hard drive. They as are editable as any of the active banks on Karma loaded into software or hardware memory.

  The Demo version is free to use as long as you will.

          Thanks, Eric:
Yep, Bank management is an art to itself. I wanted to chime in 
because one can get 1/2 way there w/out a computer.

When I got my Chemistry and Reincarnation, I loaded them into C & D, 
then my F was still empty (or backed up so the MOSS stuff can be 
reloaded). I just took my favorites from C & D and loaded them into 
spots I could remember easily in F. Now I have all my favorites in 
F, even if I want to overwrite a factory A combi I can store it in F.

Now, all I have to do is plop in a floppy and save my F. Put the 
MOSS back in there or whatever. I'll soon have a good/personalized 
bank (that will only get more complicated with multiple EXBs : )

Hope that give someone a little boost!
WHICH MAKES ME THINK -- isn't there a totally blank bank of Combis 
and Programs out there to download(?). Have this could make one's 
life easier as well. . it would be a good idea to save a blank Bank.
