contains a demo map, links to e-mail and ftp sites.
Azproj v1.0 is a collection of postscript files and data
files for generating azimuthal equidistance projections of the earth
from (almost) any point on earth. It can plot color maps of the
surface of the earth on any scale, draw and/or label grid squares,
show worked grid squares on a band(s) of your choice, dxcc
countries (and countries worked an a particular mode, eg CW/SSB),
mountain tops, rovers, repeaters, beacons and can use NMEA input
from a GPS receiver to center the map.
Azproj can be run on ANY computer (Mac, PC/DOS/Win/DVX, Unix)
and output to a postscript device (printer, ghostscript runing on a
unix or DOS machine with a ghostscript compatible printer, eg
HPcolor inkjets). Ghostscript will also allow display of the maps
on screens.
Although a rudimentary understanding of postscript will
help in running azproj, sample .bat files are supplied to make
initial maps and it should be possible to make simple changes to
the az_ini.ps and *.bat files to get the maps you want.
To display the maps on a screen or to use a
non-postscript printer, you should first obtain ghostscript
(available for PC (DOS, Win, DesqViewX) or Unix) from your
favorite ftp site (try ftp.cs.wisc.edu/pub/ghost)
The azproj files are GNU copylefted.
