2833.0. "Novice Noter Needs Help" by ODIXIE::SCRIVEN () Thu Dec 30 1993 09:21

    HELP!!!
    
    I'm a novice noter and need your help.  Mods, if this is not the
    appropriate place, feel free to move...
    
    I have always used the "next unseen" approach to reading the notesfiles
    and when I came in Tuesday, all those that I had previously "seen" are
    now coming up as "unseen" (all the way back to 1983).  Is there some
    way to "SEE" all those unseen without actually going through the
    individual notes?
    
    Thanks in advance........
    
    Best regards.....JP

2833.6	More on notes becoming "unseen"	TOOK::MORRISON	Bob M. LKG1-3/A11 226-7570	`Tue Jan 04 1994 14:38`	15
	Manually setting all notes before a certain date as "seen" is a stop-gap that enables you to continue using "next unseen" and quickly catch up to the present. However, it doesn't always restore the condition that existed before the malfunction. It also sets all notes on and after the entered date "unseen", whether they were previously marked "seen" or not. Many noters use a combination of "next unseen" and entering topic numbers to view notes. If you note in this way, using "set seen" will cause some notes you have already seen to come up when you hit "next unseen". The most likely cause of having all notes in all files show up as "unseen" is that your notebook file (the file in your account in which the log of seen and unseen notes is stored) was lost or corrupted. I will leave it to the ex- perts to explain this further. If this problem occurs in only one conference, the most likely cause is that the conference was altered at the source (re- stored from backup disk, moved to another node, etc.), fooling the notebook into "thinking" it is a new conference.

	Can anyone supply the DCL procedure floating around that compresses your notebook? Thanks, Brad.
