VERSON HISTORY
Beta-test Version 2.00 of the 440 Spoiler (44SPL20B.EXE), released 1
June, 1990, is the second release of the 440 Spoiler. It is preceded only by
Version 1.01, released 28 January 1990.
The new release incorporates maintenance revisions performed over the
intervening five months as well as many new features.
Major new features are as follows.
1. An alternate high-density display on a keyboard toggle that shows all
transceiver operating parameters, including all 110 memories (90 for
unsplit operation plus 20 for split operation) on a single screen.
2. Numeric-keypad control of main tuning and increment tuning, including
tuning of all 100 memories as well as both VFOs. Memories and VFO's
altered during tuning may (optionally) be left in their altered state or
restored to their original state. From keypad tuning, there are in
effect 102 VFOs that you have convenient and complete control of.
3. Keypad control of transmitting, a feature which may be disabled on
installation.
4. Advanced scanning capabilities that provide memory-group scanning,
frequency-range scanning, and any combination of both that you care to
program. You specify the delays for group scanning individually within
up to sixgroups, and you specify the range-scanning speed for up to six
ranges.
5. Enhanced color graphic display layout that uses highlighting to
dynamically illuminate currently selected operating parameters. Reverse-
video for LCD displays.
6. A new installation program that permits easy configuration of the program
for hardware and operating operating features.
7. A sharp and clear-cut distinction between features available shareware
examination copies and features available in registered copies.
Examination copies do not contain the following features.
A. Transmit keying from the keyboard, even if enabled during
installation.
B. Use of keypad accelerator and decelerator keys during tuning.
C. Between-session saving of edited scan information.
D. Opening of memory files not specified during installation.
We hope you enjoy version 2 of the 440 Spoiler. Even the examination
copy with its incomplete features is a considerably greater operating
convenience (or necessity) than that offered by nowadays by commercial
packages. Registered copies, of course, make the commercial competition work
a little harder at the same time that they help improve the Spoiler moreso
beyond any commercial competetive packages.
The package you are receiving with this file is a beta-test (gobbledegook
for user-test) version of the shareware examination copy. It is not bug-free,
but it will definitely not harm your transceiver or anything connected with
your computer. The purpose of this beta-test release is simply to provide a
"test drive" of the software to as many astute users who want to try it as
possible. If you find bugs, please report them by the end of June 1990.
