keep the folder contents to a manageable size. (Note that thousands of votes could
accumulate is just one year.)
Some notes on the textfiles:
The files are named
yymmddhhnnss.TXT
(year-month-day-hour-minute-
second). This forces the files to list in chronological order when sorted by name.
Data in files consists of an identification line, a summary line, and a series of simple
two-column (tab-delimited) tables. For attendance taking, a single such table is
output, each line containing the name of the present member, a tab character, and the
word "PRESENT." For regular votes, there is a table for all YES ballots (name, tab,
"YES"), all NO ballots (name, tab, "NO"), and a single table for all remaining types
of votes (if any), including abstentions ("ABSTAIN"), excused voters
("EXCUSED"), and voters who refused or neglected to vote before the Operator
closed the vote ("MISSING").
The files are designed to be importable to a spreadsheet where they can be re-sorted,
or "mined" for statistical purposes.

window, showing the defintiion of
the RTS console from demo1.
A Request-to-Speak Console signal block (an “RTS Console”) maintains a set of
queues
of speakers. The queues are implemented as scrollers. The contents of the
scrollers is maintained by the RTS Console in response to (a) signals from the seats
themselves and (b) scroller signals and other signals implemented by the RTS
Console itself.
A separate RTS Console should be defined for each room in which request-to-speak
services will be required.
