Boom Box Controller Programming help

I am looking for someone with programming experience to look through a program kwinn has been designing for me for our firing board project.·
There are some bugs in it that are of major concern and kwinn has been extremely busy lately and there are some problems with the software that are confusing.

I am not a programmer and don't have the first guess as to how the program works, but the main current problem is that the program only lets us load around 180 longs in the firing table.
The program I uploaded is the max number of longs I can put in for the time codes.· If I put in any more then that, when I run the program on the firing board, it gets to the first firing code and the board flashes all status lights on the board.

The 2nd problem is that the program reads the time code that is in front of the slave select longs instead of the time code at the end.

Hopefully someone with a lot of programming experience can look at it and make sense of why we can only use a limited number of longs.

The system needs to be able to handle up to 896 firing commands and it is currently limited to around 60 or however many are listed in the program.

I know it is asking a lot with very little information and please let me know if there is more information that I can provide.· I am really hoping one of you experts out there can look through it and say "oh, here's the problem"· and make a change and it will be that simple.· We have an entire 4th of july display depending on this program working and it will take me way more tiime then I want to try and set the show up for groups of 60 shots before I have to flash the prop with a new time code file in the field while the show is going on.·



Thanks
Derrick
