The SNROTE Turn Entry program will work but it can get annoying if Windows decides to "protect" you in various ways. Here are some instruction I wrote where everything is broken down into many small steps:

 

Install SN Turn Entry program

Breaking it down into as many simple steps as possible ;-)

(1) Create the directory snrote on the C: drive of your computer

(2) In browser, go to http://rollingthunder.com/supernova/SNFTP.htm

(3) download Snrote.exe (4,683K) to c:\snrote **OR** just download it and run it

(4) Run Snrote.exe you haven't already done so.

(5) Unzip the files to c:\snrote

(6) Make sure you have 10 "items" in c:\snrote

- the subdirectory "Orders to RTG"

- the subdirectory "SetupFil

- 6 readme files

- SN Turn Entry Data.mdb

- Snrote.exe

(7) Go to the subdirectory SetupFiles

(8) run Setup.exe

(9) Windows 8 will probably ask you for permission here

(10) Once the setup program is running it is going to try to install a bunch of DLL files. When it asks about conflicts keep the newer versions of DLL files. I had to click "yes" 12 times.

(11) Check if that worked: run turnentry.exe in the c:\snrote directory

(12) if that runs, you are almost there!

(13) download SN Turn Entry.zip (231K) from RTG: http://rollingthunder.com/supernova/SNFTP.htm

(14) Make sure the zip file is in c:\snrote

(15) Unzip the file to c:\snrote

(16) Overwrite SNturnentry.exe if the unzip program asks for permission

(17) Verify the date of that SNturnentry.exe is 4/22/2004

(18) download a turn MDB file into c:\snrote

(19) run SN Turn Entry program

(20) did it work? I hope so!
