Introduction

Thank you for using "Kringle It 2". This program came about because a friend wanted to run a Secret Santa (Kris Kringle) at her work place and was having trouble creating a list where the sender and receiver were randomly selected. All she needed was a program to take a list of names and randomly assign each name to a different person while making sure that no-one would be sending a present to themselves.

If you have found this program useful please remember to purchase a license from the Spinifex Dragon site where you can also find other programs and utilites that you might find useful. Thank you.

Using Kringle It 2

Kringle It 2 is a very easy program to use. The following steps will guide you through using the program:

  1. Create a text file with each name on a separate line and save it an easy to find location (such as on the desktop).
    NB: You can use Microsoft® Word to do this but you must remember to save the file as a text file. A simpler solution is to use Windows® Notepad.
  2. Run the "Kringle It 2" program.
  3. Click on the "Select..." button and choose the file you created in step 1.
  4. Click on the "Kringle It!" button to process the selected file.
  5. Once the file has been kringled a new file with the prefix "kringled-" will be created in the same location as the original file. This new files contains the original list of names in one column (Sender) and the random list of names in the second column (Receiver) while making sure that sender and receiver names are always different.

That is all there is to using this program. I hope you enjoy it.
