After discussing this with Tari this AM, I
think we concluded that several requests may be getting mixed
together. I hope this clarifies.
1) I requested after the last California Pres.
Primary that we have an .abo file that does the following:
* prints out
standard morning zero print out that includes:
Precinct Ballots Cast
1001
0
1004
0
Race - President
Candidate 1 0
Candidate 2 0
Candidate 3 0 etc.
* prints out only
the Precinct and Ballots Cast information at the end of the evening and DOES
NOT
print out the Race Summary Totals.
I would call this the "California
Short" report. My initial request did not consider muliple CARDS or
ballots in a precinct, just the Precinct Number and Ballots Cast
totals.
2) Part of Tari's initial discussion was
seperate from the above and involves Card Numbers and/or Party Ballot Cast
totals also being printed. This is fine and after talking with Tari,
in a multiple ballot or Card situation in a precinct I see the need for
this. However, the ROM change required for this is not something we
will implement for November in California, nor will it be relavant to this
election in that we will not have parties, but I see Tari's point for the
future.
Also, Tari thought I was requesting a summary totals
report be printed, which I didn't want. So once Tari and I spoke and
we realized the confusion, we realized that I may not have been clear on
what was being asked for. Please seperate the two issues so that
California accounts that do not want to print the summary totals report at
the end of the day, can just get the ballots cast by precinct, without
having to change roms. Then, the Card No, Card 10001 vs. 1, Party code
etc. can all be worked out in some other version without getting mixed in
with the original request.
I thought that I understood what you were requesting but now I'm
more confused. The above does not look like:

Guy, could we get an AccuBasic Report Option that
just printed out the label
and the ballots cast by precinct only for the
zero and election night
report. The California tape was incredibly
long in this last election and
when we combine precincts into a polling
place, we really only use the
ballots cast information for each
precinct. This would shorten up the
morning and evening
procedures. We could always request longer reports if
we need
them. 1.94US BCST or something like that. Please let me know.

And I don't understand what you mean by "summary by precincts":

Guy, I interpret your message to say that if you want "summary
by precinct" totals only (Calif short version), and you want party code,
then you need 1.94y firmware. That's what I hear Tari asking.
And that's how I read your response. Is that the
case?
Here's where we're at. Don't worry about the 1.94y issue -- it's
only for if and when you want to print party codes in the cards cast results
for partisan primary ballots. This was not part of your original request
and is probably the result of confusion with the 194 Georgia RCR which
specifically requests full cards cast results with party codes on all reports.
Currently, as per the original request, the 194 California .abo prints full
cards cast results but does NOT print votes cast results for the default
Election Zero Report and the default Election Results Report. In other
words, you get VERY SHORT default election reports. If instead you want
cards cast results added to the standard 194 US short reports, then use the
194 Georgia .abo (but not the one in the 194y-usga.zip file).
And if there is any more confusion, perhaps you better call me.
