Mike Swanson 0f0f664e8e feat(valleywide): add drive 2 findings - 000_ASource + analyzer outputs

Drive 2 (label "Backup", 12 TB, 6.77 TB used) — second of N VWP
backup drives. Scanned via WizTree, analyzed with analyze_wiztree.py.

NEW source content:
- 000_ASource/ — Darv's active work-in-progress folder. Contains
  TEST_VWP.vbp (2021-08-16, only .vbp newer than the 2020-06-09 baseline),
  four frmLotInfo*.frm variants (2020-10 to 2021-08), and an
  MSSCCPRJ.SCC file confirming Darv used Visual SourceSafe.
- The accompanying Vwp.mdb (2022-10-19, 764 MB) stays on local disk
  per .gitignore — newest database snapshot we have.

Analysis CSVs:
- source-analysis/drive2-2026-05-16/ — per-category + per-keyword
  breakdown of drive 2's 3.95M files (vs drive 1's 1.87M). Categories
  largely match drive 1 but with ~2x volume.

Net findings vs drive 1:
- Confirmed 4-year gap: only 4 .vbp files newer than 2020-06-09 on
  drive 2, all the same TEST_VWP.vbp scaffold. Main ORDERS_C.vbp source
  remains 2020-06-09. Darv stopped active VB6 dev around mid-2020.
- 43 GB Win7 Backup-and-Restore set in D:\Archive\Darv-Win7-PC\ (2023)
  not copied — deferred to later drives, ZIPs extractable on demand.
- Master Darv folder is bit-for-bit duplicate of drive 1's master (135 GB,
  same file/folder counts). Skipped.

New helper scripts:
- find_newer_vbp.py — list .vbp files newer than a date, filter SDK noise
- drive2_inspect.py / drive2_priorities.py — drive-specific triage

VWP Orders — Source Code Recovery from D: Backup Drive

Recovered: 2026-05-16 Source drive: D:\ (label Backup, 8 TB, 5.3 TB used) — one of several VWP backup drives in Mike's possession Provenance CSV: ../WizTree_20260516172207.csv (393 MB raw export, gitignored) Analysis CSVs: ../source-analysis/D-drive-2026-05-16/ (per-category, per-keyword)

What's in here

`Full-Project/` — Darv's "Full" project tree

Source: D:\Office-Estimates\Darv\Full\Project\
Filtered to extensions: .vbp .vbg .vbw .frm .frx .bas .cls .ctl .ctx .res .rpt .ini .cfg .sql .qry .txt .md .doc .docx .pdf
Master copy (most files, older snapshot)
Latest ORDERS_C.vbp date: 2019-11-05

`Kingston-Project/` — Darv's Kingston USB project tree

Source: D:\Office-Estimates\Darv\Kingston\Project\
Filtered (same extension list)
Newer ORDERS_C.vbp (2020-06-09) but fewer files — likely his current working snapshot from the USB stick
The "Kingston" naming refers to the Kingston-branded USB drive Darv used

`Source/` — `Darv\Source\` wholesale

Source: D:\Office-Estimates\Darv\Source\ (555 MB, 169 files)
Contains a History\Package\ and History\Package2\ (InstallShield packages?)
Has older files dating back to 1997 (C4dll1210.dll), 2002-2012 various
Likely a personal scratch / archive area, not the live source

`SOURCE-HOLD/` — `Darv\SOURCE HOLD\` wholesale

Source: D:\Office-Estimates\Darv\SOURCE HOLD\ (2 files only, < 1 MB)
Named "HOLD" suggests intentional snapshot

`000_ASource/` — Darv's "active source" folder (from drive 2)

Source: D:\Office-Estimates\Darv\000_ASource\ (drive 2, label Backup, 12 TB)
12 files, ~768 MB (mostly the Vwp.mdb which is gitignored — only ~4 MB of source/config goes to git)
TEST_VWP.vbp dated 2021-08-16 — the only .vbp on either drive newer than the 2020-06-09 ORDERS_C.vbp baseline. Likely an experimental scaffold (only 810 bytes).
frmLotInfo*.frm variants dated 2020-10 to 2021-08 — Darv was iterating on a form. The JJ and Z and 5JJ and 5Z suffixes are his variant-marker convention.
Vwp.mdb dated 2022-10-19 (764 MB) — newest database snapshot anywhere, two years more recent than what the prior session had. Gitignored; on local disk only. Useful for schema-evolution analysis.
MSSCCPRJ.SCC file — Microsoft Source Code Control project file. Confirms Darv was using Visual SourceSafe. There may be a SourceSafe repository (srcsafe.ini) on a later drive that contains full version history. Worth grepping for *.scc / srcsafe.ini on subsequent scans.

`VMs/` — VirtualBox disk images (gitignored)

VWIN7-DW.vdi (8.3 GB) — Darv's actual Windows 7 Dev workstation
- Source: D:\Office-Estimates\Darv\VirtualBox\VWIN7 DW.vdi
- Boot this to get his full dev environment with VB6 IDE, paths, dependencies intact
XP-for-ORDERS_copy.vdi (2.8 GB) — XP runtime for compiled Orders
- Source: D:\Office-Estimates\Darv\VM_VDI\XP for ORDERS_copy.vdi
- Useful for runtime testing of the compiled Orders_10A.exe

Three VB6 project variants identified

Project	Purpose	Latest .vbp	Location pattern
`ORDERS_C.vbp`	Main Orders application	2020-06-09 (Kingston)	`Project\VWP_Current\`
`ORDERS_Cx.vbp`	Variant (possibly experimental)	2018-12-11	`Project\VWP_Current\`
`ORDERS_I.vbp`	Invoicing module	2019-03-21	`Project\VWP_Inv\`

Also VWP_Current_0317/ and VWP_Update/ folders exist — likely interim dev branches.

What was intentionally NOT copied

Class	Why skipped
`Recovery\Darv\` (78 GB)	Older copy of master Darv folder — same source, older snapshots
`Estimating Archive 2024-04-23 01;46;22\Darv\` (135 GB)	Bit-for-bit duplicate of master Darv per WizTree size/file count
635 `.mdb` Access DB backups (195 GB total)	Live `VWP.mdb` already in `source-analysis/`; historical schema snapshots can be revisited on demand
14 OVA exports of VMs (58 GB)	Largely duplicates of the two VDIs we grabbed; OVAs are portable but less efficient for running
`Darv\Full\Program Files\` (large)	Darv's installed dev tools — the VWIN7-DW.vdi already contains his complete installed environment
`Darv\HD2 Info\Darv\` (6.25 GB)	Secondary HD info, lower priority
`97-Server-G-Drive\Users\Darv\` (7 GB)	Older server snapshot, superseded by Office-Estimates\Darv\
`VWP-ADSVR\Users\Darv\` (24 GB)	AD server profile — the live copy (with the lone `frmPayroll.frm`) was already analyzed in 2026-04-27 session

Open question — the 4-year gap

Latest .vbp modification on D:\ is 2020-06-09. The production Orders_10A.exe was live in April 2024. Either:

Darv stopped maintaining source after 2020 and made later changes some other way (unlikely)
Newer source exists on other backup drives — re-run this scan on the next drives Mike connects, filter for .vbp mtime > 2020-06-09
The 2020 source IS substantially the production code — minor or no functional changes since

Once additional WizTree CSVs are dropped in source-analysis/, re-run analyze_wiztree.py <csv> <out> to cross-reference.
