Anything that isn't going to be recorded gets its cardid and inputid
reset to an invalid values of 0.  It reduces visual clutter in
PrintLists and makes the recording entries easier to find, at least
for me.

I'll try to get to this in the next few days.  I've been terribly busy
with other things lately.  My main question is if the between time
should be split proportionally for softend and softstart or should
softend always be maximized with softstart getting the rest?

Probably not.

proglist can definitely show things that are already scheduled.

Can you provide specifics?
