Anyone Use this GRTools

[hollywood63]

I could be way off base but usually something for free comes with a price sometimes a extreme price. Does anyone us or heard of this?

I'll be watching this thread. I tried the download several months ago, when I saw it on a forum, but couldn't get it to work. Since then I've gotten a new computer, so maybe it'll work this time...

I have been using QuickLoads for several years. This looks interesting. I love community developed software. I am going to have to check this program out.

Dang I’d be interested in reports on this. I’ve never had Quickload but I’ve had the need a few times. Unfortunately I’m MAC so I can’t run this just now.

I tried tp register but never received a email to finish anyone else try?

[Drew P]

Check you spam, I was able to register fine.

It would be great if it works and is easy to use.

Easy peasy on my laptop.... they offer linux. Can't get it to work on my linux. Still a noob at linux.

I downloaded it and played with it a bit putting in combinations I already knew what they did, it’s pretty close better than a number of different books.

IIRC it didn’t have a number of powders I use though, seemed pretty limited in that area but that was last summer, not sure if it’s different now.

I gave up registered 3 times and no activation code ever showed :-(

It would not unzip the file on my computer, so I deleted it.

I got it unzipped but don't know how to get it to run.

Well being bull headed paid off :veryconfu I was reading comments on the reloader site. I had to use a gmail account evidently outlook see's the .DE and automatically strips the email?? There was other comments about not getting it to run so after downloading it I made a new folder labelled GRT I then extracted the zip file to the GRT folder and the app was in there and opened right up. Well let me tell you is this going to be a learning experience.

I got it to work on an older computer with Linux installed and I think GRTools is very promising.
My 7.62x39 load with 123gr FMJ and 27gr 1680 seems to track very close to the books.

Unfortunately the data is mostly European powders at the moment. I wish I can contribute with the stuff on hand.

Finally got it to work on the current version of mint. Unzip the tar ball and go to doku/en directory. There is a text file named install. It has directions and what libraries you need install. After that GRtools runs just fine by double clicking it.

There is a fresh update today aswell. This program has a lot of promise.

Try it using a different email server. I recently had an event where someone couldn’t mail a geoguessr match to me because my yahoo email wasn’t compatible with them or something. Tried my gmail account and it went right through.
