*** QTH_WP.EXE Version 0.02 ***
*** ***
*************************************************
*************************************************
This software is used to index the FBB WP information for
use by NK3T callbook servers.
In order for the servers to use the WP info in a speedy
manner, the WP information is indexed. QTH_WP.EXE is used to
index a copy of the WP database file. The original
changes constantly, so insert the copy statement and program
statement in your APPEL.BAT, so it updates daily when
housekeeping takes place. Renaming the WP.OLD instead of
copying the WP.SYS saves a few meg of drive space. The file
used for WP lookups is NK3T_WP.DAT, and the QTH_WP.EXE
program creates a file called NK3T_WP.NDX which is the index
file. These are unique file names, and must not be changed,
or the program will not recognize the information. See the
included APPEL.BAT for an example way of running the index
program during cleanup. To seed the system the first time, use
F8 software reboot, and choose housekeeping. The index file
is 11 bytes per record, so it will not take up too large a
space. If the index is not created, the program will run
without it. If you are also running SAMQTH.EXE, it is the
same WP index file and may be shared.

I have a lot of fun programming, but always need feedback for ideas,
and bug fixes. Let me know what is on your mind, even if it is running
fine. Most folks are quiet when things are working right, and gives me
the feeling nobody is running this stuff. Drop me a QSL card and tell me
which program you are running.
