If you did not shut down the node to install the database, type in the
above two lines as SYSOP commands.
After reviewing the DOC files, PBT_DB.DOC and INFO.DOC, you may delete them
from your database directory. You should store the database ZIP file in a
save place.
REMOTE NODE:
------------
Other nodes may access the database from the SERVING node by adding lines
to their SYSOP.DAT and/or typing in the lines as a command. If the callsign
of the node where the database is installed is WB6EXC, then the other nodes
would execute the following commands:
SET/COMMAND INFO * * * * * WB6EXC
SET/COMMAND/COMMENT INFO Int'l Q Signals * ARL Messages * Other Op Info
CLUSTER COMPANION:
------------------
Users of Cluster Companion should install the database following the same
procedure as PRIMARY SERVING NODE above, but observing the proper directory
and callsign entries for that user.
PCDB:
-----
Users of the PacketCluster Database Reader program should install the
database files into the directory shown in the SET/DIRECTORY line of their
SYSOP.DAT file. If no entry, install in same directory where PCDB resides.
The following command in SYSOP.DAT should be entered:
SET/COMMAND INFO #LIS INFO.FUL/INFO.IDX #PRE * #NF
An additional (optional) entry would be:

EGYPT
Sunni Muslims make up some 90 percent of Egypt's population. Agriculture
is the country's main livelihood, as it has been for millennia. President
Hosni Mubarak called for an Arab solution to the crisis in the Persian Gulf,
but Egypt supported the United Nations trade embargo against Iraq and has
sent troops to Saudi Arabia.
Population: 54.7 million
Gross National Product per capita: $650
Oil Reserves: 4.5 billion barrels
Troops: 450,000
Tanks: 3,190
Combat Aircraft: 475
&&
IRAN
Iran was home to the ancient Persians, and it is still the largest non-Arab
country by area in the Middle East. Shiite Muslim revolutionaries ousted
the shah in 1979, and the new gpvernment of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini
declared the country an Islamic republic. War with Iraq raged from 1980
to 1988. Recently Iraq offered to return captured Iranian land and restore
the mid-channel boundary of the Shatt al Arab waterway.
Population: 55.6 million
Gross National Product per capita: $1,800
Oil Reserves: 92.9 billion barrels
Troops: 504,000
Tanks: 500
Combat Aircraft: 185
&&
IRAQ
Old cultural and religious differences persist in present-day Iraq, heir
to the territory of ancient Mesopotamia. More than half the population
is Shiite Muslim, but members of the minority Sunni sect have traditionally
ruled the nation. Tribal Kurds from northeastern Iraq, though largely
Sunni, have periodically fought against Baghdad for autonomy. Long-standing
boundary disputes with Kuwait quieted during Iraq's 1980-88 war witb Iran.
Population: 18.8 million
Gross National Product per capita: $1,950
Oil Reserves: 100 billion barrels
Troops: 955,000
Tanks: 5,500
Combat Aircraft: 689
&&
ISRAEL
The Jewish state of Israel was born under fire in 1948, in the region known
as Palestine. Fourteen percent of the population is Muslim. The "intifadah",
or uprising, in the West Bank and Gaza Strip has focused attention on Israel's
treatment of the Palestinians. Israel is the world's major beneficiary of
U.S. aid, receiving more than three billion dollars each year.
Population: 4.6 million
Gross National Product per capita: $8,650
Oil Reserves: 1.5 million barrels
Troops: 141,000
Tanks: 4,288
Combat Aircraft: 553
&&
JORDAN
Resource-poor Jordan is rich in problems. Unemployment is high. Subsidies
from neighbors such as Iraq and Saudi Arabia have kept the country solvent,
but the blockade against Iraq has deeply damaged its economy. More than
half the population is composed of resident Palestinians, whose high birth-
rate has put additional strain on the kingdom.
Population: 4.1 million
Gross National Product per capita: $1,500
Oil Reserves: 5 million barrels
Troops: 85,250
Tanks: 1,131
Combat Aircraft: 104
&&
KUWAIT
Pearling, not drilling, was once the main livelihood of Kuwaitis. By the
1980s oil wealth allowed Kuwait to provide its residents with one of the
world's most complete welfare systems, even though about 60 percent were
foreign workers rather than citizens. In August 1990 Iraq's initial
invading force numbered 100,000--five times the size of Kuwait's entire
military.
Population: 2.1 million
Gross National Product per capita: $13,680
Oil Reserves: 97.1 billion barrels
Troops: 20,300
Tanks: 245
Combat Aircraft: 35
&&
LEBANON
Civil war has ravaged once prosperous Lebanon since 1975. Rival political
parties based on religion, as well as external pressures from Syria, Israel,
and various terrorist groups, have devastated the country and its economy.
Shiite Muslims are the majority, followed by Maronite Catholics and Sunni
Muslims. Other Christian groups and the Druze sect make up the rest of the
population.
Population: 3.3 million
Gross National Product per capita: $690
Oil Reserves: none
Troops: 21,000
Tanks: 100
Combat Aircraft: none
&&
OMAN
The Sultanate of Oman once depended upon fishing and farming. Though the
majority of Omanis stil work the fields and sea, those yields now contribute
little to the nation's economy; oil is by far the main source of revenue.
Most Omanis are Arab Muslims of the Ibadi sect. Oman controls the Musandam
Peninsula, along the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz.
Population: 1.5 million
Gross National Product per capita: $5,070
Oil Reserves: 4.3 billion barrels
Troops: 29,500
Tanks: 6
Combat Aircraft: 57
&&
SAUDI
Saudi Arabia guards the cities of the Prophet Muhammad: Mecca and Medina,
two of Islam's most holy sites. It also guards the world's greatest supply
of oil. Discoveries of new petroleum fields in 1989 may increase Saudi
reserves by 20 percent. Conservative Wahhabi Sunnis are the vast majority,
though a large Shiite population lives in the eastern province.
Population: 15 million
Gross National Product per capita: $6,170
Oil Reserves: 257.6 billion barrels
Troops: 67,500
Tanks: 550

SYRIA
Ancient Syria linked the civilizations of Mesopotamia and the Nile Valley.
Its past shows in its varied peoples: tribal Kurds, ethnic Turks, and
Armenians, as well as Arabs. Sunni Muslims are nearly 70 percent of the
population; Alawite Muslims are the next largest group, at 12 percent.
Syria is one of the fastest growing countries in the Middle East; nearly
half the population is under the age of 20.
Population: 12.6 million
Gross National Product per capita: $1,670
Oil Reserves: 1.7 billion barrels
Troops: 404,000
Tanks: 4,000
Combat Aircraft: 558
&&
TURKEY
NATO member Turkey has the largest non-Arab population in the Middle East.
Nearly 99 percent of its people are Muslim, mostly Sunni. A strong national
identity belies its ethnic diversity: Circassians, Russian Balkans, Kurds,
Serbs, and Greeks, among others. Turkey's economy has been severely affected
by the economic blockade of Iraq and the closing of petroleum pipelines.
Population: 56.7 million
Gross National Product per capita: $1,280
Oil Reserves: 521 million barrels
Troops: 647,400
Tanks: 3,714
Combat Aircraft: 485
&&
UAE
Abu Dhabi, Dubayy, Ash Shariqah, Ras al Khaymah, Al Fujayrah, Umm al Qaywayn,
and Ajman -- the Trucial States, formerly under British protection -- became
the independent federation of the United Arab Emirates in 1971. Oil was
first exported in 1962, but the economy was not much changed until the 1970s,
when global oil prices rose dramatically. The U.A.E. are primarily Sunni
Muslims.
Population: 1.6 million
Gross National Product per capita: $15,720
Oil Reserves: 98.1 billion barrels
Troops: 44,000
Tanks: 131
Combat Aircraft: 91
&&
YEMEN
United just ten weeks before the invasion of Kuwait, Yemen abstained from
an Arab Leaque resolution to condemn Iraq. Exported labor has been a major
source of income.
Population: 8.9 million
Gross National Product per capita: $590
Oil Reserves: 4 billion barrels
&&
QATAR
Independent Qatar declined to join the United Arab Emirates in 1971. The
country is heavily populated by foreign workers. After the invasion of
Kuwait, Qatar granted multinational forces military access to its peninsula.
Population: 500,000
Gross National Product per capita: $11,610
Oil Reserves: 4.5 billion barrels
&&
BAHRAIN
Diminishing oil wealth has forced tiny Bahrain to diversify into banking
and communications that serve the rest of the region. Bahrain has cooperated
with multinational forces sent to the region, allowing access to its military
facilities.
Population: 500,000
Gross National Product per capita: $6,340
Oil Reserves: 112 million barrels
